Following the above guide produces an error when I try to connect.

Connecting from a Windows desktop I get the error:

“No network provider accepted the given network path.”

When I try smbclient -L -U from the samba server machine, it successfully lists the available samba shares.

however when I try smbclient ///share -U it then gives me this error:

“tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME”

What am I doing wrong?

I can see the share from my Windows machine but when I go to open it I am asked for a password and it does not authenticate. Any suggestions?

Just one small issue. I have just downloaded Samba 3.5.4. It is taking hours to install. Seriously, it is quicker to re-install Fedora or Red Hat.

The net use command is not working for me, I am using Windows 7. However, I was able to map the share folder using Mycomputer, right click on it, etc.

For people getting persistent password errors please be sure that you are using the net use command correctly. If it prompts you for the username then windows will submit it incorrectly.
