I can access my Windows XP Pro's shares with out user name or password quite successfully. Using both xsmbrowser and mounting them in the terminal. Are you sure that the other XP machines on the network dont also require a password to access the shares? -- Ryan Viljoen Bsc(Eng) (Electrical) "Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable." - Mark Twain -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
