[Samba] Samba and Vista Home Prem login problems

I have a simple peer to peer setup with security = user. I only have
two machines, one Vista and one Linux. I have two shares, one is the
tmp folder and I enabled public access, the other is a user owned
folder with read, write and execute permissions. I can see my Samba
shares from my Vista machine and I can access the tmp folder, but I
can't log on to the user protected one. I have encrypted passwords and
password level 8. I used force user in the share definition. I can map
the drive, but I can't access it.

When I try smbclient -L \\Mybox\share -Uuser I can connect to it from
the samba machine. I'm sort of at a loss now. I've tried a lot of
stuff. Any ideas would be appreciated.

What do the logs say about why you can't connect? That's your first stop.

Concur. I have vista home premium running and I have now connection problems whatsoever. CIFS was broken for a time in the3.2.0xy version, but it is performing great now on 3.2.1

Hi,
Thanks for the replies. I haven't used Samba that much so I appreciate
the help. I guess I didn't have logging turned on and I wasn't on
3.2.1. So I got 3.2.1 and turned on logging. This is the error I get
when I connect on that share:

[2008/08/17 09:35:57, 1] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_name(1791)
get_peer_name: getnameinfo failed for 192.168.1.3 with error
Temporary failure in name resolution

This is what my general config looks like:

workgroup = XXXXX
server string = Samba Server Version %v
netbios name = MYBOX
announce version = 5.0
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE
SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
;passdb backend = tdbsam
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
password level = 8
; null passwords = true
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
name resolve order = hosts wins bcast
wins support = yes

I found some of this stuff online so I'm not sure I need all of it.

My share def looks like this:

[webroot]
comment = Web Server Root
path = /var/www/html
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
valid users = %S

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You have a problem with the 2 computers being able to talk to each other, a
"name resolution" problem. I see you have configured samba to act as a "wins"
server for your network. Is there another MS server acting as a wins server or
domain controller?

Also, basic name resolution. Are you using /etc/hosts for name resolution or
are you using a DNS. If so is it configured properly? Are you using dhcp to get
your IP or do you have static IPs assigned? This is where the immediate problem
lies. Your config look OK
