It looks as though your windows users don't have accounts on your box? They need a user account, with password and username exactly matching their windows logon, and a samba user account, again with an exact match in username and password. I presume they also have MDKGROUP as their workgroup, remembering case sensitivity? Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302
