Everything else still worked ok, so it wasnt samba. By default, win98 encrypts passwords when sent over the network - you will either have to enable encrypeted passwords in samba (which i dont know how to do) - or make a registry change to 'EnablePlainTextPassword' There is a knowledgebase article onnit, try searching MSKB for win98 and samba. Or use win95 :-) cheers from downunder greg -- SafetyWeb Internet Solutions Pty Ltd Suite 1101, Capital Tower Canberra City ACT 2601 Australia +61 02 6257 9901 Telephone +61 02 6257 9904 Technical Support +61 02 6257 9902 Fax greg@safetyweb.com.au http://www.safetyweb.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
