As I pointed out in my previous message, for that to work, you really 
need SAMBA 2.0.7 to work, even for the UNIX versions of SAMBA.

Otherwise you will have no communications or intermittant communication 
problems.  This is a protocol negotiation error that was fixed in SAMBA 
2.0.7.

Encypted passwords must be disabled in the client, otherwise look at my 
previous message that was posted to the list just before yours came out.

Some people have been able to get Windows 2000 and early SAMBA to work. 
  The bug in the protocol incompatablility seems to hit some people and 
not others.

Can you do the steps in diagnostic.txt to make sure that you can connect 
locally?  If you do not have a copy of diagnostic.txt, a copy can be 
obtained from http://www.samba.org.

This looks like the user account used for access did not have access to 
one or more of the directories required to complete the login or access 
the file.

On my post that immediately preceded yours, I reference a FAQ that I 
wrote that should give you many other tips.
