Do the w98se and wme systems "login" with some username and a blank password? w2k, wxp, and (I think) wnt boxes can mount network drives using different passwords AND usernames, but w95/w98/wme class machines can only use one username to access network resources (but possibly many different passwords). I don't know if that is the problem, but I thought I'd throw it out there...

Here's the particulars: Slack 8.0 machine running samba (don't know version right now) Win98se and WinMe systems. Running local DNS, no Domain controllers EnablePlainTextPassword is set to 1 on both Win boxes. When I try and connect to the samba share (\\wormy\data), I get the share name listed and a box to enter password. However no user name entry field. I've set up Samba at work to authenticate both locally and against the domain (NT) at work successfully, but it doesn't work here. Any ideas?
