Windows 2000 access share

I have a windows 2000 domain with the following set-up

win2k server
ip =10.0.0.1
name =w2kserver

win2k workstation
ip 10.0.0.7
name w2kWs

win98 workstation
ip 10.0.0.2
name test98

Linux machine
ip 10.0.0.100
name testLinux

I am testing this in order to convice my boss to use Linux as a file server and then email and fax server and phase out windows servers within our office.

trouble is i cannot access my file shares from my windows pc's I get the following error

\\testlinux is not accesable
the account is not authorised to log in from this station

could anyone help me out as to why this is happening

thanks in advance

In my config I have the following entry in the global section, perhaps this helps:

guest ok = yes

You can also increase the debuglevel so you have some more information in the logfiles:

debug level = 3

I also had to look that my samba server does not conflict with the domain master so i set everything to the lowes priority:

domain master = no
local master = no
preferred master 0 no
os level = 0

and to create all the files case sensitive (like I type them on Windoze) but to search them case insensitive I added the following lines to all shares:

mangle case = no
mangled names = no
case sensitive = no
preserve case = yes

And you also cannot connect if the path does not exists.
