[Samba] WinXP Home & CUPS / Samba problem

[Gary Dale]

I set up a Samba PDC for a client before discovering that their 
workstations both had Windows XP Home installed. Not a big deal. I set 
up Samba accounts for them and gave them access to the shares. I also 
changed the CUPS security to None to give them access to a printer 
connected to the server (also allowed connections from LAN). Things work.

Recently I added a new user account to one of the workstations. I also 
set up and activated a Samba user account. Unfortunately it can't 
connect to the Samba shares. Surprisingly it also can't connect to the 
unsecured printer, which isn't even using Samba! It's connected via 
http://<servername>:631/printers/<printername>.

I can print from two other accounts on the same workstation. I can also 
connect to the shares from the new account when I tell Windows to 
connect using one of the other accounts - just not the new account.

Any ideas anyone?
