Fwd: [Samba] XP-Problem - suddenly XP canot connect to samba

Sat Oct 12 08:54:00 GMT 2002

That might of been me.  I have been playing around with XP and Samba.  The
problem I had was that I changed the signorseal reg key and then
successfully joined the domain.  However on rebooting, the XP client simply
did not want to even entertain the idea of logging onto the domain it just
joined!

Eventually, I changed the Local Security Policy under the Control Panel.  In
there are three policies which seem to control talking to domain controllers
etc (Sorry I don't have  an XP machine in front of me so exact terminology
M$ use might be wrong).  Basically these policies say that when talking to
DCs etc to use Kerberos.  As soon as I changed these to simply 'Permit'
eveything cam good and I have had no further problems.  This is NOT the XP
firewall - that is changed elsewhere.  This is Security Policies.

I would be interested to know if this fixes this scenario.

I have not had the inclination to investigate it in more depth, but 2000Pro
seems to have similar policies but they do not interfere...

I still claim to the firewall theory. Another reader
had the same problem a week ago. And he find out it
was not enough to change the firewall policy.
M$ had made it difficult to connect to other systems.
You must quit the XP firewall completely.
Unfortunely I cant remember how he did it, but he said
it was not enogh to change the policity.
