Okay.... you want me to tail samba&#39;s log. I stated I didn&#39;t know which file to tail..... but then I just realized you wanted me to tail samba&#39;s log and I know how to find that! but I don&#39;t know which log to tail. (the complete list of logs is at the end of this) I am going to give you the tail of the logs for the two that I think it might be:<br>
<br>     /var/log/samba/log.192.168.0.2 &lt;-this just return through<br>     /var/log/samba/log.sonydesktop<br><br>those are the ip of the xp and the machine name of the XP. Let me know if I&#39;m wrong.<br><br>bmike1@Michaels-PC:~$ tail /var/log/samba/log.sonydesktop <br>

<br>====<br><div>1) As you initially asked, your XP account name was changed.  Please refer to the enabling of the guest account HowTo in:  <a href="http://unixwiz.net/techtips/samba-xp-printing.html" target="_blank">http://unixwiz.net/techtips/samba-xp-printing.html</a> 
 NOTE: I am assuming that these machines are protected inside your 
network, since it&#39;s usually a BAD IDEA to enable the guest account 
otherwise.  Verify your WORKGROUP and NetBIOS name in XP.</div>
