Samba problem.
This is a discussion about Samba problem. in the Windows Networking category; When I try to map a samba share on my win2k machine, I'm getting this error: The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occured: The account is not authorized to log in from this station.

What's up with that? Is the problem on the Win2k side or on the Linux side?

Try www.samba.org, www.linuxdoc.org, and finally, the site for your distro. This error could be related to password encryption that all the current Windows OSs use for passing credentials. Look for a file called "ENCRYPTION" or similar on your system for more info.

Make sure your are running the latest version(2.07)of samba. Win2k borke the older versions.
If you are running win2k ADS make sure the computer account you created for the samba server is set to NT 4 compatible.
