Right.

This usually happens when your clients send encrypted pass, and samba is
set not to use them.

yes.

Don't use "update encrypted" if you already use "ecnrypted pass".
Take it out.

Check list:
1) you have a user called user1 in /etc/passwd
2) smbpasswd -a user1
3) smbpasswd user1  (set password)
4) login to MS Networks using userid "user1" and password "the pass you
chose".

Also, in the global section use
guest account = ftp
map to guest = bad user
