Network/Samba help needed

[Greg]

I have a desktop client running WinXP Home, and want to
connect it to my Linux box (Samba server) but I keep
getting access denied type errors when I try to map
network drives.

What am I missing here?

Thanks,

Did you create a samba user on the linux box? Did you configure smb.conf
and share anything? Did you restart samba after creating the user and
config file?

You could try this site for assistance.
