Dear friends,

I am able to see my UNIX directories from XP machine but somehow when I try to connect to my XP machine directory from the server using "smbclient", i get the follwing error:

smbclient \\\\Sopaul\\Sopaul_WPC 
added interface ip=192.168.8.150 bcast=192.168.8.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 192.168.8.70 ( 192.168.8.70 )
Password: 
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

The funniest part of the problem is that when one of my colleague runs the same command with his machine name and shared directory, he is able to get the follwing message:

smbclient \\\\AnujHanda\\Handa_WPC 
added interface ip=192.168.8.150 bcast=192.168.8.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 192.168.8.105 ( 192.168.8.105 )
Password: 
Domain=[COFUTURE] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
smb: \>

We are on the same network and same domain, still i am facing this problem, I would be greatfull if somebody can help me !!


Thanks & Regards,

Sohina.
