I tried both of these to no avail - nothing is recorded in the logs either.

also did you add a user to smbpasswd with
smbpasswd -a userid userpassword
after you created their unix acount?

Okay - I've tried adding machine account as suggested but still no joy - same symptoms as before. Also tried changing security to 'share' - this time I can see the share in windows explorer but it asks for a password under the username of 'Guest' (greyed out) when i try to access it - no passwords work (including null).

Make sure the XP box has a machine account on the samba server.
do this by adding a user (however you do it on your host OS) of machine$ (make sure the dollar sign is there)
then you can add this account to samba by doing:
smbpasswd -a -m machine
(note the _lack_ of a dollar sign. you know this, but replace "machine" with the actual name of the machine.)

Hi, I am trying to set up my internet connection sharing linux box as a stand-alone samba server. When i try to access the server from a Windows XP Pro client using \\192.168.0.1 i get a dialog box asking for a username and password. I duly enter this and the dialog box immediately re-appears without connecting me to the share. There exists both a samba and linux account with the same password which is also the same as the XP Pro logon.
The XP Pro box is not set up to logon to a domain, both of the boxes are on the same workgroup. I can get samba to work using share-level security but only for a guest account.
Would appreciate any suggestions
