SMBCLIENT CONNECTION ERROR

[rajendr an]

Dear All

I`m newbie to samba .currently i`m  working in samba 2.2.5 version 
on Redhatlinux 8.i faced a problem while connecting from one of 
the linux client to samba installed server which is also the same 
redhat linux 8.
i could able to get into samba server from windows NT machine and 
look at the shares but produces problem  while connecting from 
linux client to sambe server using the smbclient command at 
terminal........i dont know why ,hereby i`m enclosing the smb.conf 
file for ur reference ,plz provide me the solution as esrliets as 
possible
