Connection problem using win98

[Luis]

I had the same problem when trying to connect to samba threw windows 98 machine. but I figure out what the problem was. 

First I added the user name to my linux box , after that I used this command for the samba server

$smbpasswd -a (username)
$passwd (username) 

after that i restarted the samba server

/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart

waited a few seconds then login and it work . try that and see if it work if not I'm sorry 


here's a little artile I think that might help you with your little problem ....

  I have connected to my server via Samba using win95 but when using win98 I can see the server but unable to log in.
  I am asked for a password to connect to the server but win98 keeps rejecting the password.

  If I return to win95 the password is OK.

  Any advice as to my next step or where I should be looking in the manual would be grately appreciated.

  Regards.
