Need help with SAMBA server

[hirez]

I installed the SAMBA server on my G4 running 10.2. Everything seems to be fine but when I connect from XP to OSX it doesn't show any folders as shared.

I went through the whole procedure in the read me setting up a new user called samba and deleting certain entries in Net Info but it didn't change anything.

When I connect from XP, OSX doesn't request a user name or password it just opens a blank window.

I have no idea what I am doing here. I am not a networking expert. I know there are other alternatives to using SAMBA such as ftp but I am trying to make my machine friendly to other neophyte windows users on my network.

You might want to give this application a try: http://xamba.sourceforge.net/ssp/index.shtml IT is basically a control panel app that configures samba for you. It's pretty easy to use for folks who don't know/want to mess with the smb.conf file and it's 1000 different options that you will never need.
