Ok fellas, I finally got my act together and decided on DEBIAN, I have it installed successfully but have run into one problem. I set up/installed SAMBA successfully, at least all of the diagnostic programs says it runnuing successfully!!! The Debian machine shows up in my network neighborhood on XP ok, but when I click to map it, it asks for a user name and password. I'm confused as to exactly what it wants. I haven't edited my smb.conf file so any help (a quick step by step) on solving my problem would be helpful.
