Greetings - I have a problem with passing credentials from a DOS PC running Bart's Network Boot disk which I think is basically the WfW stack on DOS.
A little history on the problem as follows. I have a large CNC milling machine that runs a proprietary machine control software under barebones DOS. In order to be able to pass files that I create on a modern PC running CAD/CAM software to the old DOS based machine I have been running the Bart's network software for years on the milling machine, connecting to a Windows XP fileserver.
With the support for XP going away, I tried doing the share off of a Vista machine, but couldn't get it to connect (authenticate) and after researching all of the possible registry settings I might need to change, I decided to try a NAS server instead thinking control of what protocol levels would be supported would be easier than fiddling with inscrutable windows registry entries.
I have installed FreeNAS, created a share, created an account with password, and checked protocol support to include everything on the CIFS menu going back to LANMAN1 and still no joy.
Every time I try to log in from the Bart's DOS system I get a message that the password is wrong. I use the exact same username and password from a modern PC and all is good. I have set logging to debug, but I see no tab under the GUI for debug events and I see nothing getting posted to the freenas server syslog when I try to authenticate from the DOS machine.
Any advice on next step to isolate where the problem may be?? TIA
