Thanks, Ermanno. To summarize your instructions, is it true I should follow below steps ?
1. on xp, create a user: user1 with password: password1. 2. on Solaris , create a user: user1 with password: password1. 3. on Solaris which has samba server, run : smbpasswd -a user1 , then give password:password1. 4. start samba daemon: nmbd, smbd,winbindd. 5. log in xp with user1, in a DOS window, run: net view \\<solarishost> It should work .right ?
