List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: There is a setting somewhere on the XP system that fixes that issue. Damned if i can remember what it is at the moment. But it would help to take a quick glance at your smb.conf file if you would like to send it on. Are you trying to use the userid and password of an existing account on your linux system? If not try that and see if it helps. I know that I have to have an account on the llinux box that matches the one I am trying to log on with in order to hook up.
