Robert, I have Samba working. My problem is getting Windows '95 to log onto the network as the default user. I have tried typing "net start" in the command line, but it tells me that the network can't be started from the dos command line. I have also tried adding "net start" in my autoexec.bat file. It says that it has executed successfully, but then again after boot is complete I am not logged into the network. I have tweakui installed and have checked the "automatically log into the network" - even tried it with using plain text - but this doesn't seem to work either. I am not prompted for a username/password unless I start the system, then shut it down with "log on as a different user". I am then asked for the login password and it does log on to the network, Samba works like it should, but I always have to restart and log on as a different user in order to use it.
