Because of this I assume that nmbd is working correctly but something is getting messed up in the smbd portion of this. My workgroup is "@home" running behind a Linksys Router with DHCP. Currently I have my security setting to User but have also tried the share level setting, but the USER setting has no encryption because I ran the registry patch telling Windows to not encrypt my password.
hmm.. what's in your smb.conf? it might be that your linux machine has
a different workgroup, or something with your permissions on the win side.
what does
smbclient -L //windows98box -W\@home -U%
and
smbclient //windows98box/sharename -W\@home -U%
say?
