So what? The protocols provided for use in a given operating system are not
the same. Windows CE != Windows XP. As I said before, "I don't know
anything about the protocol used to communicate with the Samba server". You
can call/email Microsoft support and ask them or maybe ask on the Windows CE

Hi,
I have setup Samba server on Linux machine(Redhat) and i have no
problem to mount samba drive on my windows XP machine with username
and password created in Samba server .
However, with the same username and password my PDA (WM5 & CE4.2) not
managed to access the samba drive.
I believe the PDA have successfully connected to Samba server but fail
during Authentication stage.
May i know is there any explicit setting that need to be applied in
PDA and should i enable password encryption in samba server. I have
tried to disable it but didn't workout .
Thanks in advance
