I am having problems with samba on linux:

I'm running Slackware 3.5 with Samba 1.9.18p7

Network is OK because can ping, telnet and ftp without problem from any
machine to any other where appropriate.

testparm smb.conf works OK and I get at I expected.

smbclient -L xxxx

1) Appears to work to a Win95 box but not an NT box.

2) when xxxx = linux (Hostname  = COMPSAGNATHUS) I get the following
message:

Added interface ip=192.0.1.4 bcast=192.0.1.15 nmask=255.255.255.240
Session request failed (131,129) with myname=COMPSAGNATHUS
destname=COMPSAGNATHUS
Not listening for calling name
Try to connect as another name (instead of COMPSAGNATHUS)
You may find the -n option useful for this

The ip and subnet masks values look right.

and I cannot log in from a Windows box.  Though the Samba sever is
listed windows does not see the shares and I get the sort of message one

would expect if it cannot see the computer. (applies to 95 and NT boxes)

I think the problem lies with Samba or its setup, possibly the nmbd
portion, on the
linux box. At the moment I'm out of ideas.

Any suggestions?

I suspect that there may be  another problem relating to encryted
passwords with NT but at the moment I don't think it is the critical
factor.
