Well when I go to connect to another box with the command smbclient -L
(ntserver name)  Then I get an error saying 
"Unknown parameter encountered: 'Domain Controller'
Ignoring unknown parameter: 'domain Controller'
Password:"
session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess

In the samba.conf I have set these paramteres as well:
password server = ntserver
encrypt password = yes
domain controller = ntserver
Domain Controller = ntserver


Now part of the other problem I see is that I can see the Linux Box in Net.
Neighborhood, but cannot browse it at all.  I see nothing when I double
click it.  Once I put in the password as listed above It fails giving that
error.  Thanks
