I have a home network consisting of my SuSE 10.0 laptop and a Win2K desktop. The desktop is wired to a router and the laptop is using 802.11g to connect to the router. Both machines can get out to the internet.

The desktop can ping and open a list of shares on the laptop. I cannot however open any of the shares on the laptop since it asks for a user/pass combinantion. None of my valid combos seem to allow authentication.

The laptop cannot either ping or open a share on the desktop.

Don't know what the problem is but you are not alone. I have a similar (very similar) issue with my set up. I've gone through the O'Reilly Samba book to no avail... I can 'see' both PC's (one running Win2k the other 9.3) but I get the same problem with username/password combinations. The only way I can get stuff of one PC to the other is by going in as root which is far from ideal of course.

Hmmm. Nice to see I'm not the only one with this issue. I had the same problem with 9.3 before I upped to 10. I hadn't tried to login as root to do anything. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part
