[Samba] Help please

[Joel Hammer]

When you say it works like a charm, do you mean all the problems you
originally reported have stopped and you can log on with w2k?

You didn't say if you made the changes I suggested. So, I am not sure
what your smb.conf looks like now.

You didn't say, if you made those changes, if the problems you originally
reported have gone away.

Is this a new problem with w2k?
