I’m not sure if this is a Samba-specific problem or not, but it has happened to me several times now on both Windows 2000 and XP machines.

• Try using the “Manage my network passwords” window (accessed through the “User accounts” applet in the control panel)
• If that didn’t help:

• Make sure to enter the server name in the username box, example: MACHINE\username
• Try entering the IP address of the server instead of the host name (worked for me when everything else failed).
