There is a setting in the global section of smb.conf that defines what user account will be used for guest access. Make sure it's set to an existing non-privileged account, like "nobody": guest account = nobody Also try telling Samba allow unknown users to access resources with guest privileges: map to guest = bad user Keep in mind that if you login to the Windows box using a username that exists on the Samba box, then the password must also match. Win98SE and later all use encrypted passwords, which will require you to setup Samba for encrypted passwords. The instructions for this are in ENCRYPTION.txt. Tony - -- Anthony E.
