    Does anyone have any Ideas on how to get plain text passwords to work with the file server. I've tried the reg hacks for win 2k, but to no avail. Anyone help?

    I used it to connect to my universities samba server and it worked fine. You sure you did everything right?

    (stolen from microsoft's web site)
    To enable unencrypted passwords, add the following value and data value to the following registry key:

    Value Name: EnablePlainTextPassword
    Data Type: REG_DWORD
    Data: 1

    Registry Key
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkStation\Parameters
    it doesn't matter if you make sense, only that you amuse yourself.

    Discs also make excellent gifts for significant others to help remind them that ultimate is the most important thing in your life
