It must be said that, after the addition of the guest user, I can try to access a share from a windows 98 client, but it asks me for only a password (not the username/password), thus I don't now how to access the share (every password I insert, even if one of the valid users for that share, does not work). However, I'm still unable to find the computer thru the "find computer" of windows, and even nmblookup does not work. Any idea?
