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.
