Hello, this is my first post so hi to everyone!

Situation:
server:
sun netra t1, solaris 8, running samba 2.2.8. ip address 10.10.10.220/24

client:
windows 98 pc, 192.168.0.55, with samba server info in lmhosts file and a wins 
server that reads the samba info.

problem:
when i try to access resources on the samba server, i get an error, (can not 
find the server) so i started sniffing the packets and saw that the win98 box 
was trying to get dns info on the samba server (sending an A query for 
10.10.10.220). i then set up the wins and the lmhosts file. and repeated the 
process, now i see that the name lookup fails but it gets the netbios info from 
a netbios query and it starts to open a session but the session fails due to 
bad password. in the smb.conf file i have allow guest and the guest account has 
no password. this setup works fine when i run win2k. it can see the shares just 
fine. 

thanks
daniel
