Thanks but still no go :-/ At this point, I can see the server (Looks like "netbios name" is required, while I assumed its absence would have Samba use the Unix hostname), but when I use "c:\net view \\linux", I get the familiar error 5 "Access denied". Samba still seems to not ignore the Windows username and use "nobody" instead.

Could it be some setting in Windows 7? -- View this message in context: http://samba.2283325.n4.nabble.com/3-6-8-XP-fails-with-error-1326-tp4654631p4654808.html Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
