Question regarding accessing Samba / please respond

Hi,

I have sent you an e-mail earlier last week and it was suggested to me to
test all steps discussed in the Troubleshooting section.  I ran the tests
but I feel more lost than before.  First, I will describe the problem again.
We currently have an HP-UX 11.0 server with the name hptest.  We are running
Windows 2000.  I am trying to connect to the samba shares from Network
Neighborhood or using start, run, \\hptest. But, I get the following error
message:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

I discussed this issue with a different user, but apparently he has a
different problem.  He is being prompted for a password, but when he puts in
the username and password for the root Unix server, it doesn't work.  

Questions:
How come this works differently on the 2 machines?
Where is this username and password prompt coming from?  Is coming from
Samba or from the Windows 2000 server?  
Why doesn't the Unix root password work?


I have attached our smb.conf file and here are some of the problems I
experienced when I followed the troubleshooting section.  For the password,
I supplied the Unix password for root.  I also tired my personal Unix
password and I got the same results.

hptest:Root:/ =>smbclient '\\hptest\temp'

Added interface ip=172.20.0.60 bcast=172.20.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
Got a positive name query response from 172.20.1.232 ( 172.20.0.60 )
Password: 
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair
in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)


Similary, when I issue:

smbclient -L hptest

Added interface ip=172.20.0.60 bcast=172.20.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
Got a positive name query response from 172.20.1.232 ( 172.20.0.60 )
Password: 
session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair
in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
hptest:Root:/ =>


nmblookup -B hptest
Sending queries to 172.20.0.60


	I am new to this, but I was told when we were running on NT,
browsing was working.  I don't know if this means we have to change
something in the smb.conf file or not.  Can you please give me any ideas.
If you need to get any additional information about our environment, I'll be
happy to supply it.  Thanks for your time and help.
