Okay I've made sure ssh is running, and I've put PuTTy on the XP
machine. I can fire up PuTTy and log into the Linux box using my
username or root so no problems here.

I've changed smb.conf as follows:

[Media]
path = /media
valid users = robbie
public = yes
writable = yes

I've restarted Samba, and eventually the shared folder appeared in My
Network Places on the XP machine.

Double clicking the folder brings up the password box but it won't
accept the right password! I've tried my own username and password, and
I've tried root and its password but it won't accept them, and I'm at a
loss to know why.

Anyone got any ideas? I'm so blimmin' close...
