attach XP computer to network.

[John]

When I was using XP, I would make my samba username and password match the XP login credentials so it would allow me to print. Doing this made life easier. I think you can setup guest printing but I never tried that.

Okay.... I got it so that both of my Linux computers are printing but my brothers Windows box will not behave. I had it printing then I decided to change the name of the user. Unfortunately I can't change it back (don't remember what it was) so I need to modify the network to reflect the new user name. I need the great brain trust of the Phoenix User's Group.  Hmmmm..... I just thought of something; I can still browse into the XP with nautilus so I know it isn't the network so it must be samba... hmmm/. I thougt the smb.conf file might have something in it to fix this but I stand corrected. Can someone help me out?

You might also want to verify your configuration (we are using a share called accounts below):

Open /etc/samba/smb.conf file and add/modify share called [accounts]:
[accounts]
comment = Accounts data directory
path = /data/accounts
valid users = vivek raj joe
public = no
writable = yes
If you edit anything, BE SURE TO SAVE ORIGINAL TO BACKUP FIRST, and of course reload the service with 'sudo service smb restart' after.

And of course if any of these steps fails, please read and apply this link:
