okay james..... I am figuing that this is done at.... I&#39;ve been looking for how to this for A while now. How do you do it? There it is. I found a GUI app that did it called &#39;firestarter&#39;. Unfortunately opening the ports didn&#39;t help the situation any. ports 137-139 and 445 are now open.<br>

The error pasted is about name services, not printing.  XP being XP, have you tried setting the samba box up for port 139 instead of 445?<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 4:33 PM, Michael Havens <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:bmike1@gmail.com" target="_blank">bmike1@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

okay.... I enabled the guest account but that didn&#39;t improve the situation any. I checked localhost:631 and the printer is listed. (weird thing, from the laptop it is listed as a different model. It works so I don&#39;t really care)<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>
<div><br></div><div>Please, then, attempt to connect from XP and tail the log and see what Samba is whining about?</div><div><br></div>====<br> Not sure of the logs name. Can you help me out? I also don&#39;t know about the net<br>
