If you've not changed it (based on reading I doubt you have) the domain is probably "WORKGROUP". You username/password for your Ubuntu shares will be whatever user you assigned to the shares in the smb.conf file (the "valid users = timmy johnny" line), I have no idea how any of the graphical tools do this if you've set it to "guest ok = yes" then you can just login with the Guest user account (no password, username Guest I seem to recall... though there might be a "Sign in as guest" button. There is on OS X) For your Windows shares, it'll be the username/password of the person who owns the share. So to connect to my Win7 shares I user the username "matt" and my windows password as the password. Hope that helps you a bit further along the track. -Matt Daubney -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
