Hi all,

After setting the smb.conf by myself, I can't use the Samba Server to connect the Linux and Windows 2000 also can't connect to my Linux machine too.

Here are my smb.conf setting

[global]
workgroup = Time Project

guest account = pcguest

password level = 8
username level = 8

encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd

[keilinux]
comment = Keilinux's Shares
path = /sambaShares/Keilinux
valid users = kei sam pcguest administrator
public = yes
writable = yes
browseable = yes
create mask = 0777

The problems is the other Linux machine can't connect to the Shares by the "smbclient -L //192.168.1.241 -U kei" after I enter the password for the user kei.

It show me this error message:
session setup failed: ERRSRV-ERRbadpw (Bad password -name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)

The other problems is when I use the Windows 2000 computer, it is a standalone workstation, no login by domain. I can see the "Keilinux" this computer in the Network Neighborhood, but after I double click on it, it is show a popup box said that I haven't the presession to connect to this machine or the machine is not here!!!

Can anyone tell me what is wrong in my setting?

You need a netbios name for your linux machine
netbios name = linuxbox in the global section.
You should not have a workgroup with spaces in the name. Change "Time Project" to "Time_Project".
This is not a Linux issue, windows NT doesn't like it either. This probably won't solve all your problems but it's a start. You should get a good book, "Linux Samba Server Administration" by Rod Smith is very good and covers w2K.

good luck.
