Every user must have an account on your box, and the username and password must match that on the windows box in every detail - it is case-sensitive of course. The fact that it's asking for the guest password suggests that you haven't done this. Webmin may not be installed - it isn't by default, I think - but it's worth having. If you are still having problems after that, paste your /etc/smb/conf into a message here. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
