Samba---windowsXP

Hi,

I have 1 pc with Debian Linux and the other pc with Win XP home
edition

The problem is that I see on the Win XP the NAME of the linux samba pc
but when I try to click on it it ask me for a login and password.

When I type in this it won't let me in and the Login name change to
winXP pc name and login like this (//winxp--pcname/loginname) but I
can not get in.

I have made the User and password on the linux

I did this to share the directory on the linux

chmod 777 /usr/local/samba/tmp


I hope someone knows this problem

did you run smbpasswd?

I made a user with smbpasswd if that is what you mean ?

On my Redhat 9.0 systems, I do the following:

As root, remove the existing user - optional
smbpasswd -x <username>

As root, add the user and the password
smbpasswd -a <username> <userpassword>

As root, stop and then start the samba server:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start

Last night I used the steps listed above to change the user/passwords on
all four samba servers at my location.
