[Samba] Windows Vista password dialog keeps coming up

[Robert Pollard]

Hi,

I have come to my wits end again (lately, it's a very short trip).  I have been trying to connect to Samba 3.0.21b but Windows keeps throwing up the logon dialog.  I'm using "Map network drive" to try to mount this share.

It seems the problem is only on the Windows side since I have tested the connection through the Unix account.  Both user id and password work fine.  I've tested it through the command line on the Unix server using "smbclient //cva/cva_images -U cva" and it works fine there since it gives me the smb prompt and I can execute commands (ls to look at the directory, etc.).

For some reason I cannot authenticate through Windows (Vista by the way).

I have 2 other accounts and they work fine.  Anything you see in the file that may be something that is stupid please point it out.  SMB/NetBIOS, etc. is all relatively new to me.  BTW, I've tried it without valid users and it doesn't work.

The "images" and "bernardy_images" mounts work fine.  No authentication problems.
