I applied the changes: changed the PDC to just the netbios name. I also logged on to my win PC loally using an account with the same name and password as my SAMBA server. I was still unable to connect to the SAMBA share even using \\server\share
One problem I have (may have something to do with it) is our NT Logons are two names (first name<space> lastname) So mine would be: George Abdo. I can't create (or don't know howto) a username like that under linux. Also, I'm not sure if you've noticed, I cannect to windows from Linux (using various means: termnal and xfce's smb browser) but not the otherway around. Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated.
