The problem is likely with encrypted passwords. Either configure samba to
properly accept encrypted passwords (something I have yet to do
successfully) or edit the registry on the win boxes to use plain text
passwords and set samba to use plain text passwords (a global samba
setting.) If connections to the samba shares are not made over the public
internet, then using plain text passwords is not a significant security
hole. The white papers below explain how to set plain text passwords on
win98 and win2000 (the change on an NT box is also a reg edit.)
