Either that or I finally remembered to do a smbpasswd -a on the linux box. :( But I don't think it was that because I also tried mapping as a different user that I know worked on other XP boxes here. None of them seemed to work until I followed your notes here.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799088.post-1155031881117941472006-08-08T11:11:00.000+01:002006-08-08T11:11:00.000+01:00It really was all about the LMHOSTS file, as in th...It really was all about the LMHOSTS file, as in the main body of the post. <BR/><BR/>In (Windows Dir)/System32/drivers/etc you should see a file called lmhosts.sam. Copy this to lmhosts (no extension!) and replace the entries as I describe in the post and see if that works.Alistair Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415960315873865766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799088.post-1155003935956205992006-08-08T03:25:00.000+01:002006-08-08T03:25:00.000+01:00I am trying to do the same as you descibe and conn...I am trying to do the same as you descibe and connect my windows XP home box with a Samba server without a PDC.
