Ok, I can see all machines again, i made a mistake in smb.conf.

But i still do not understand what is going on with the password prompt
without a specified username?

Does samba use my machine name as user name?

Everything seems to be setup fine.  smbclient test gives expected
results...

But to access from Network neighborhood on windows, i get user name
prompt, as well as when I do a :  net time \\servername

error 86 : the specified network password is incorrect.....

please respond to this address

thanks ken
