Wanted to post this out here incase anyone else has a simalar issue.
I am a Network Engineer, I have been using DSL for all kinds of cool stuff for a few months now. I put DSL on an old laptop so I would have something to do some network troubleshooting with. I load up samba from mydsl. I had a problem seeing the shares on certian Windows 2003 Server. I would come back with a Tree error and say Windows NT Access is denied. Other servers worked fine. Then it dawned on me, that I have seen an issue on old Win 98 First Edition and Wind 95 machines that will not connect to a 2k3 server because by default 2k3 uses Digitally signed packets. Sure enough Samba doesn't seem to use digitally signed packets. To turn this off on the 2k3 server open Regedit and go to the following key.
HKLM/System/Current Control Set/Services/lanmanserver/parameters
change the following key
requiresecuritysignature
to a DWORD Value of 0
Then you client will be able to connect ok. I didn't have to reboot the server or anything, it just worked.
There may be a way to get the security signature working in Samba and option in the samba.conf file or something, if anyone knows, please post.
Suppport DSL! What is a dollar a month! Especially when DSL gives so much to everytone!
