My guess is that your XP user name and password are different from your FreeBSD user name and password. You can try a couple of things: On your XP computer create a user account that matchs your FreeBSD account and login information and see if it pesters for the password and name; the other is create an account on your FreeBSD computer to match your XP user name and password and see what happens. > Here is my smb.conf: (sorry the [printers] is at bottom) > #======================= Global Settings > ===================================== > [global] > printing = BSD > workgroup = DELNORTE > encrypt passwords = yes > server string = soleado server > hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.101 192.168.0.102 > 192.168.0.103 > printcap = /etc/printcap > load printers = yes > log file = /var/log/log.%m > > max log size = 50 > security = user > socket options = TCP_NODELAY > > wins support = no > > #============================ Share Definitions > ============================== > [gn] > comment = Soleado WebServer > path = /home/gn > browseable = yes > writeable = yes > read only = no > > [configs] > comment = Soleado Configs > path = /home/soleado_configs > browseable = yes > writeable = yes > read only = no > > [wqs] > comment = WQS WebServer > path = /home/wqs > browseable = yes > writeable = yes > read only = no > > # NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to > #20060826 Opened up printer section again. > [printers] > comment = All Printers > path = /var/spool/lpd > # print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s > public = yes > browseable = no > # security = share > # set client driver use to no > use client driver = yes > # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print > guest ok = yes > # guest account = nobody > # writeable = yes > printable = yes > printer = lp > > > -- > Kindness can be infectious - try it. > > Graham North > Vancouver, BC > www.soleado.ca > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this outgoing message.
