[Samba] Samba vs. WIndows 2000 problems

[Paul]

Hello Samba Experts,

Any help, advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have been happy using Samba 2.0.7 on our Sun Sparc 2.6 for some time as a
file server.  It has always worked just fine with Windows 95/98 (in plain
text password mode).  However, when we try to map a drive using a client
running Windows 2000 (patched to run in plain text password mode), it can
not even get past the protocol negotiation.  Forget password
authentication.  After some investigation I installed Samba 2.2.2 to
communicate with WIN2K.  No change in the log file as far as protocols with
the exception of some addional debug info. (Not shown)  Any suggestions?
The MS weinies that prevail want to change all current file servers over to
new intel machines that run WIN2K... Blasphemy I say!   A log file I
grabbed of a failed session follows.  In a good session from Windows 95/98,
there is no "end of file" message, but rather a request to map a drive for
a user.
