[Samba] XP Home and Samba? and: two network cards?

[Donald Zajic]

Markus, if you have applied the SignOrSeal registry hack, you should be
able to get your XP Home system to see Samba shares.  You will be
prompted for a user name and password to access these shares.  

You will never get your XP Home system to become a member of your Samba
domain.  Since you cannot authenticate to the Samba domain using an XP
Home system, there are no credentials to send to Samba to verify
permissions to the share and you will have to provide a user name and
password to access them.

Subject: [Samba] XP Home and Samba? and: two network cards?

Two questions concerning our small (six machines) network around a Samba
2.2.3a server:

-  I cannot make the XP home boxes find the samba server. We wanted to
replace
some old desktops with new ones and bought them with XP home installed.
While they can see the other win98 machines on the network - and these
machines
still work with the server - they do not see the samba server. I used
the
same settings as with Win98, same IP, same gateway, same workgroup, only
that XP does not accept a username identical to the machine name. Is it
right that only XP pro works with Samba? Anyone found a workaround?

- I cannot get Samba to run on two interfaces even if I put both IPs
into
the smb.conf. On this network, there is one machine with a BNC Connector
I would like to keep (its a long cable through down three floors I do
not
want to touch). What did I miss out?

Thanks for any help!
