Hello, I am trying to access the printer on my linux server from Win2K, but I get the following error "ACCESS DENIED, UNABLE TO CONNECT" On WIN2K.log [2003/01/04 08:30:05, 0] smbd/password.c:authorise_login(863) authorise_login: rejected invalid user nobody I have logged in to win2k with the user name/password, which is also the right combination for samba. I have successfully mounted a samba share on win2k with that username and password. Any help is appreciated.
