[Samba] Re: Problems with Windows 2003 connecting a Samba server

Dear Guenter (and list),
   The article refers to to problem with 2003 and Samba v3, however on
the same machine, I can connect to another samba server with version
3.0.14a. Despite the version differ, the 3.0.14a needs user password,
however I set the problematic server to have "security = share", that
is no need to enter any password to access any file.

   Also, another Windows 2003 within the subnet shows the similar
problem. I do think there is an issue between Windows 2003 as client
and Samba version > 3.0.14 (or related to security=share???)

   For information, the explorer replys "Specified Path cannot be used
(I translated from Chinese, so it may differ)" when trying to access
the share location from Run diaglog box.

   Again, thanks for your help!

Yours sincerely,
Jason Chan
