Thanks Alexander, this certainly helped. I rewrote smb.conf to follow your suggested file. Now smbclient works. Here is the what I get Unknown parameter encountered: "unix passwd sync" Ignoring unknown parameter "unix passwd sync" params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration file: passwd chat + *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd: *all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* Unknown parameter encountered: "SO_SNDBUF" Ignoring unknown parameter "SO_SNDBUF" Unknown parameter encountered: "blind interfaces only" Ignoring unknown parameter "blind interfaces only" Password: Anonymous login successful Domain=[LGI] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.7-2.FC2] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- mydata Disk IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server) ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server) lp0 Printer lp0 Anonymous login successful Domain=[LGI] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.7-2.FC2] Server Comment --------- ------- WINSOREN Samba Server Workgroup Master --------- ------- LGI WINSOREN The only trouble is that I still cannot access the network. E-mail and Internet function, but not the network. If I click on "Network Servers" the "Windows Network" icon appears. If click on that, I get a blank window.
