I have just stepped into the linux and samba world so please bear with my question.
I recently installed debian sarge in my laptop. I wanted to connect my other home computers running XP with it so i installed samba in the debian laptop. With this debian laptop i can log and accessing other XP shared folders from linux system but even after going lots of googling i can't access the linux system from Windows XP. While accessing from XP, i can see the name of the linux system but can't log inside. Displays ".....not authorized to log in from this system". Can anybody give me some direction here please.
samba conf file as seen from swat is as follows:
