I should have specified more information here.
I have the client for mircosoft networks installed, have also disabled
the dummy eth0 device on my Linux box and have also specified "netbios
name =" parameter in the /etc/smb.conf file.
I think all of this has to do with an Internet explorer upgrade that
I downloaded from MS. This was so that I could play active X games on
the internet. Anyway, this is just a theory but I believe that's how
I lost the "change password" tab. I have an "Internet" option in the
control panel which looks a lot like Internet Explorer. Maybe I will
have to uninstall Internet Explorer to get everything to work?
I have followed the instructions in "Using Samba" by Oreilly &
associates to configure it on the Windows side except for the
"password" option for the reasons I previously described.
