RE: Access Denied message evenwhen loging in locallyafter joining

Brandy, thanks for your reply!

You asked me to draw a network diagram, the thing is that I don't know how
to submit it via this newsgroup. I will try to explain it in writing, unless
I figure out a way to attach a drawing to my thread.

-Right now, I have the Windows 2003 Standard server and 2 computers joining
the domain.
-The other computers and the Unix box are in a workgroup. I will keep the
other computers in the workgroup until I figure out why I can't access the
shared folders in the Unix box. I don't want people having trouble later, I
want to make sure everything works fine first.
-We also have a Sonicwall SOHO3 firewall with 25 licenses.
-The way we operate with the Unix box is via a terminal emulator (facetwin).
Everybody connects to the Unix box using that terminal emulator, this works
fine if I do it with a computer that is in a workgroup or in a domain.
-The only problem is that I can not access the shared folders in the Unix
box from an XP computer that has joined a domain, not even by logging on
locally. The other XP computers that have never joined the domain, have no
problems at all.
-Maybe this is someting important: To be able to access the shared folders
in the Unix box from any XP machine, I had to do the following procedure:
START> CONTROL PANEL> PERFORMANCE AND MAINTENANCE> ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS>
LOCAL SECURITY> and there I had to enable something about sending unencrypted
whatever to third party SMB something. Sorry, I can't remember how the whole
thing was called, I have an XP Home here at home and it doesn't have all
those things in the administrative section. But it's the only option that
mentions someting about third party SMB something. After doing that we could
access the Unix box and install the terminal emulator stored on a shared
folder in that box.
So, as I said, I can connect to the Unix server to use the company's
software via the terminal emulator from any XP machine in the network, it's
accessing shared folders in the unix box where my problem is.
Isn't there anything like what I mentioned before abuot the SMB third party
option to be enables in the Win2003 SBS? If so, where are those options?

- The Win2003 SBS is the DNS server and the Win 2003 Standard is the DHCP
server
- The Win 2003 Standard is used for voice mail and other applications for
our phone system, which is a PBXi with IP Phones and we are using VoIP, but I
don't think that has anything to do with the problem

(1)+(2) You are right, I said we had 2 SBS servers and that's not possible.
We have:

1 Windows 2003 SBS server
1 Windows 2003 Standard server
1 Unix server running AIX 4.2

3) I am getting 2 different error messages.

a) When I try accessing a shared folder from the XP computer into the Unix
server I get an error message that says Access Denied (have to check full
message tomorrow when I go back to work) I can access the Unix server after
entering username and password, but can not access shared folders.

b) When I try to acces Unix server from the SBS server I get the following
message:
" \\servername is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you
have access permissions. The account is not authorized to log in from this
station.
I can not even see the share folders in this case.

4) In regard to whether I have or not Samba software on the Unix box
installed I have to check that with the IT guy that installed that server,
i.e. the same person that sold us the software that runs on that box which we
use for accounting, billing, order entry, etc. I don't know nothing about
Unix.
I will try to use the "net use" command from the XP machine when I go back
to work tomorrow.

5) You mention SFU, what does that stand for? I will look up the info you
gave me about this and install it on an XP machine to see if this gives me
access to the Unix shared folders.
What do you recomment, installing it on the SBS or on the clients? Acutally
there is only a total of 14 computers in the office, but only 3 people need
to access those folders in the Unix box to pull out some reports that are
printed there.

Thanks for all your time, and I'm looking forward to hear from you soon!
Thanks a lot for everything!!!!!
