Hello,

Currently we are using a new network with an old samba server.  Previously
we were using a standard hub based network.  Now we have Cisco 3516
switches and a new configuration of V-lan masking.

In our old non v-lan segmented network, I had no trouble setting up a samba
server.  Currently I can browse the samba server, but I can not attach to
any shares.  I have updated our smb.conf file to the following.

I can ping the server, and I can see the server in our domain, but I cannot
attach to any of the file shares?

I have tried encrypted passwords and unencrypted passwords.

What do I need to change to be able to browse shares?

Thank You
