One windows 98 box only gives me an error trying to access the printers. I get the network icon for the FreeBSD machine, but when I double click on it, I get the windows error; \\D is not accessible. The computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again". Looking around the net for others who had similar problems; I have tried doing a modification to the windows registry, recommended my some, and also tried adding the FreeBSD hostname and IP to the /windows/hosts and /windows/lmhosts files, recommended by others. I am now pretty sure that the problem is in the windows machine. I brought in another win laptop and changed the login and the ip to the same ones as the problem box and it worked fine. What may be a clue to the problem, is that during windows boot, I get the 3-field password window which is a login for a Microsoft network, which I just get an error from. I don't understand that window, don't want it, and I don't know how do get rid of it. I don't have that login on my other windows boxes and they work fine. Then I get the 2-field standard password, which is standard on my other win boxes. My next step was to get rid of the three window box that is giving me a boot error, bringing at least the -boot- process to resemble the other machines. Any thoughts on this would be helpful.
