Hello.
We are using a AFAIK samba-based NAS drive called "Maxtor Shared Storage II"
in a network with 10 Windows XP PCs (Home and Pro machines).
We created a private (= password secured) share on this network drive.
Unfortunately we are experiencing some difficulties when trying to access
this share:
Some of the machines can't login - the login window always re-appears as if
the user account data was not accepted while other machines on this network
can perfectly access the share with EXACTLY this username and password!
First I thought this could be a Home/Pro problem but after further
investigation I found out that the problem seems not to be connected to Home
/ Pro / SP1 / SP2.
It works on some Pro based machines and on some of the Home based machines.
And vice versa I cannot connect to the share with some machines running Pro
and some PCs running Home. I also compared the registry values in
HKEYLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Las. But even with registry values matching
the ones from a PC where access to this share works did not help. Still no
access.
I just can't find out what is different between the "good" and the "bad"
machines. Please help. Thanks in advance.
Bye Oliver
I have seen somethong simuliar when an anti-virus software (Norton A/V
2007) was installed and "blocked" the NetBIOS access to the Samba
shared drive. You need to check for possible anti-virus software
settings that block Internet worm type viruses and configure the
access to "unblock" local network access.
