[02:15] <HowdyDoody> I also tried both this way:  '\username'  & 'password'  and still no luck.
[02:18] <HowdyDoody> ChinnoDog: I am in a windows machine trying to cnx to an ubuntu box and I get prompted for user/password.  ARe slashes used to connect to ubuntu shares ?   It's samba stuff that is shared that it sees. Does samba use a diff username/password combo by chance ?  Hmmm, maybe I left a note to myself in samba if so.....

[16:39] <ChinnoDog> HowdyDoody: What is the domain name that SAMBA is using? Don't assume it will select the correct domain name for you. That works sometimes but more often than not does not work.
[16:40] <ChinnoDog> Windows wants to connect you to resources using your current credentials when possible. SAMBA is probably using your host name or other string you configured as the domain name.
