The network redirector update prevents Win95 clients from 
downgrading to plain text passwords.  I think we've already 
covered this in this thread (sorry I came in late). 

The original problem was that newer Windows 9x clients 
could not connect while older ones could.  The authentication 
was handled by an NT PDC.  However, I did not find how 
there Samba box was setup.  What is the security setting
(user, domain, server)?  I do know that you said password 
encryption was enabled in smb.conf.

'updated encrypted' is turned off right?


Need more info (and coffee)....




Cheers,
