I've searched all over google and the like, and I'm at my wits'
end... I cannot get my gentoo box to connect to any of my roommate's
Windows XP Pro shares.

His computer is named "JDpc":

# smbclient -L //jdpc -N           
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[RAWSEWAGE] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[RAWSEWAGE] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------


I've tried both listing and directly connecting to individual shares
via smbclient AND mount.cifs, no luck.

It works if and only if I provide a specific user name and password
(my roommates' username and password).  Even -U Administrator does
not work!  All the shares have both "Everyone" and "Guest" set to
Full Control.

I'm convinced this is some overtight security setting on the WinXP
Pro box.  He recently upgraded, and before, with Win2k, we did not
have this problem.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Much appreciated,
Thank you,
Matt
