I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem that's driving me potty!
I have a network at home of various flavour of Wind*ws and a Mandrake 8.1
Linux box. After much trial and error, I have set the sytem up so I can log
on to the network from WIn NT, Win 2k, Win 98 - but, no matter what I try, I
cannot get a Win 95 machine to connect. I have installed the vrdrupd.exe file
on the Win 95 machine as that seemed to promise my success, but still no joy.
I can see the homes and share directory I set up, but I just keep getting
told I'm entering an incorrect password. I'm using exactly the same
techniques on my Linux box to set up accounts for all types of Wind*ws
machines - but the password is still, apparently, invalid when I enter it on
the 95 machine.
Is it something to do with encrypted passwords?
I have:
encrypt passwords = yes
in my smb.conf files.
Please remember, it's *only* Win 95 machines I can't connect (I have tried
two).
Thanks for your help.
Rob.
