[plug] samba connection problems

[Quintin Lette]

I am pretty sure that requirenosignorseal reg hack is only if you are using 
samba as a domain controller.

Have you tried using a different user to access the share? (ie. usera on 
windows xp - non Linux user - to access a share for userb) just add a new 
user on winxp and logon try to connect using this and when asked for 
authentication use the linux username/password combination.  User IDs will 
most likely be different on both Linux and doze so they will conflict and xp 
wont allow you to use the same credentials 2x.

I generally use domains for samba so that I don't have multiple users and 
groups to configure on several machines, but this may or may not be what you 
want (probably not if you are just at home)
