Can't connect to server not participating in domain

Hi All...

I have spent a good amount of time searching through the list's archives,
but have not had any luck with this issue.

It appears that I have no problem connecting to a WinNT server with
smbclient if the server is participating in the domain.  However, if I'm a
server (or NT workstation) that isn't participating in the domain, I never
authenticate.

In my case, I have a primary domain controller, backup controller, and two
other NT servers (along with a bunch of NT workstations).  All are running
NT 4.0.  I am using samba 1.9.18p8 on AIX 4.3.

I have no problem connecting to a shared directory on the first two, but
always fail, under the same exact share characteristics, on the servers not
participating in the domain.

I appreciate any help in this.  I just need to get past this to get printing
to a Windows client off an AIX box going.  Successful and unsuccessful
connects are below...

Once I get this going, I will post what I did to get aix printing going from
unix to Windows (assuming people are interested)...

Thanks

Alan

You might find the -U, -W or -n options useful
Sometimes you have to use `-n USERNAME' (particularly with OS/2)
Some servers also insist on uppercase-only passwords
