Whenever I try to connect to a service on my Samba server (with a client 
running Win98) I get a password prompt, and after entering it, am told 
that it is incorrect. I have made 100% sure that my password is correct, 
and that my login matches. The problem reported in the Samba log is 
this:

...
sessetupX:name=[DAVE]
1999/08/09 17:14:25 error packet at line 644 cmd=115 (SMBsessetupX)
   eclass=2 ecode=2
error string= No such file or directory
end of file from client

etc....

I've succesfully completed the steps 1 through 7 in the DIAGNOSIS.txt 
included in the package. On step 8, I get the same error shown above. 
My "allow hosts" command is commented out. Security = user. Testparm 
reports no problems. I can connect locally on my linux machine (running 
the samba server) using smbclient, only remote logins do not work. The 
service which I am trying to connect to (a public service) DOES exist. 

-----

Aside from that - another strange thing:

With smbclient, If I want to connect to \\HOSTNAME\SERVICE, I have to 
type "smbclient \\\\HOSTNAME\\SERVICE"  (hence I need double the "\" 
characters) or else I get an error saying that there "aren't enough '\' 
characters in the service name".
