[Samba] Re: SMB Connection failed

[Pranay Tembhekar]

Hi,

        First thing u've to do is check the username & password on the windows
machine by which u usually do a login. Try to create same account in ur Samba
machine with same passwd. Login from the new username & passwd. & then  try to
give the same command if it asks for the passwd give the same passwd. If it
fails try to do it with "su".

Regards,

Pranay
