Well here I go again.=A0 Still setting up my home LAN.=A0 I am using =
the Samba
version that comes with RH 5.2.=A0 I have been using the reference =
'Samba
Integrating UNIX and Window' by John D. Blair.=A0 But I am still =
confronted
with the following problem.=A0 When using Win98 Network Neighborhood =
and try
to open up my Linux server I get the following message box.
=A0
------------------------------------------------------------------------=
----
-------
Enter Network Password
------------------------------------------------------------------------=
----

You must supply a password to make this connection:
=A0
Resource:=A0=A0=A0 \\DBSERVER\IPC$ <file://\\\\DBSERVER\\IPC$>=20
=A0
Password:
------------------------------------------------------------------------=
----
--------
=A0
Needless to say, whatever password I enter, nothing works.
=A0
What puzzles me is the '\IPC$' I do not have any reference to that in =
my
smb.conf file.
=A0
Here is the [global] section from my smb.conf file.=A0 This is =
basically the
standard file that was generated when I installed RH 5.2
=A0
=A0=A0=A0 [global]

=A0=A0=A0 mangled names =3D no

=A0=A0=A0 workgroup =3D TAN

=A0=A0=A0 server string =3D dbserver

=A0=A0=A0 printcap name =3D /etc/printcap

=A0=A0=A0 load printers =3D yes

=A0=A0=A0 log file =3D /var/log/samba/log.%m

=A0=A0=A0 max log size =3D 50

=A0=A0=A0 security =3D user

=A0=A0=A0 encrypt passwords =3D no

=A0=A0=A0 socket options =3D TCP_NODELAY=20

=A0=A0=A0 dns proxy =3D no=20

When I run testparm against smb.conf I get the following results.=A0 I =
have
cut just the reference to 'IPC$' from the output.

=A0=A0=A0 [IPC$]

=A0=A0=A0 comment =3D IPC Service (dbserver)

=A0=A0=A0 path =3D /tmp

=A0=A0=A0 status =3D No

=A0=A0=A0 guest ok =3D Yes

So where is the 'IPC$' coming from?=A0 Any and all help on this would =
be
greatly appreciated.=A0 I have also attached both files smb.conf and
testparm.out to this message if anyone is interested in seeing the =
complete
files.

Thanks in advance!
