What specific version of Windows are you using to connect to the linux machine?

What error message or symptoms are you experiencing when you try to connect from Windows?

Have you checked the Samba logs for error messages?

This isn't urgent for anyone but you. Don't flag your posts as urgent. If you need "urgent" help, PAY FOR SUPPORT, and they'll be there for you. You may also want to read the posts on "How to ask a question" here http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...Ask_a_Question


Provide complete information, since this is "urgent", like what version/distro of Linux, and what error(s) you're getting, and in this case, what version of Windows are you using.

Check what workgroup name your Samba server is in, and what workgroup your Windows machine is in. Try also connecting as "guest", or with an explicit workgroup/user combo, like "WORKGROUP/username", then the password.
