When I spent time networking Win98 and Win2K boxes, in order for the 98's to access a share on the 2K server, the server had to have a user created for each 98 user, and the username has to be the same as in win98. This is the same as someone else said on the list, but I think you misinterpreted what they said when you tried switching to Client for MS Networks. No matter how you log on, whether it's locally, to a domain, whatever, you've only got one username, so that username has to be present on the Samba box in order to gain access. Rather, that is what I think is going on here, from what I've read. I can't say for sure though, as I have not worked much at all with Samba. Hope this helps though.

I'm not seeing these. I did set the option the the smb.conf file to no initially, but no change to either encrypted or not. Also, I've set the Windows registries to allow plaintext passwords, still no luck.
