Re: [Samba] WinXP client always connects as Gaia\Guest
I had this same problem with XP. I tried one other method which seemed to solve my problem in a command prompt window type: net use z: \\gaia\data Hit [enter] I received a prompt asking me whether I want to use default Guest user or to type a new username. At this point I entered the required username. I have not yet tried to automate this so that users would not have to do this everytime they log in. I also found this link for the ForceGuest http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290403 Maybe this would the solution you are looking for!

RE: [Samba] WinXP client always connects as Gaia\Guest
I've have this problem with my setup at home. It has something to do with WinXP Professional, and a 'new' feature called forceguest. It's supposed to be a security feature implemented in XP. Googling for 'forceguest' && XP should lead you to a few pages that help to disable this forceguest feature, or circumvent it. -Rob > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2004 11:05 AM > To: Woellert, Kirk D. > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Samba] WinXP client always connects as Gaia\Guest > > > Woellert, Kirk D. wrote: > > >Mounting by IP does not make a difference.

RE: [Samba] WinXP client always connects as Gaia\Guest
Mounting by IP does not make a difference. Somehow WinXP or Samba always tries to set up the connection as Guest. Even if one specifies a specific user. -Original Message- From: Thomas M.
