Else it will deny basically all connections. -Did you read the documentation for encryption? There is some problem with the encrypted password and MS machines. -Check the samba page, at www.samba.org, and under their documentation section, there is this thing call "diagnostic." -did you start smbd and nmbd correctly? -is the client set correctly? (for MS machines, you need Client for MS network) well, I hope this helps...
