I am using the same account and password I use from my NT box The XP box sees the samba box in a search by IP, but it cannot see shares. If I do a net use command It says: "No service is operating at the destination network endpoint on the remote system" The XP box can see shares on NT, and NT can see the XP, and samba shares.
