VIDEO - Ubuntu 7.10 File Sharing with Windows XP | SMBpasswd

There's nothing wrong with your Windows XP. It's all because of the Ubuntu SMB password. Please refer to the video below:-

SMBpasswd

Connect to

So you have installed the Samba but you can't get Username & Password access thingy done?

smbpasswd

How to solve it?

1. Goto the Terminal
2. Type
   sudo smbpasswd username -a
   (replace the username with your account name.)
3. Leave the password blank by pressing the Enter key. So all you need to key-in is just that particular username in Windows XP 'Connect to' prompt.
   
4. Done.
