OK.. I dont have xp and the setup is for the laptop using win98. When you boot up your machine does come up with a login dialog before it boots into windows ? I was under the impression that by installing MS Client for windows this would cause this to happen. It is this userid and password that you need to tell samba about in order for it to let you in. Maybe you need to have MS Family logon In Local Area Network for your Ethernet adaptor make sure you have NetBeUI protocol installed. NetBEUI is a network protocol. Its what windows machines use for talking to each other and its what ( I presume ) samba implements. You have to make sure it is installed. You also need to install File and Printer sharing for MS Networks. If all is well when you boot up you will be asked to logon. If you have never logged on before I think you just type in the userid and password you want ot use and it will create it. Once windows is up in the netowrk browser ( 'My Network places' ? ) and 'computers near me' you should see your own machine appear. If it doesnt show you might have to share at least one file or folder. In windows explorer right click a folder and select sharing. Set it to allow sharing and give it a name and set the permissions. Now hopefully you should at least see your own machine on the network. If all that is workign then you know your windows machines is now setup properly ( I hope ) In linux the command to add your user is smbadduser windowsid:linuxid sorry.. my fault .. I gave you the wrong filename. Anyway.. hope this gets you a bit closer to getting it working.
