Here is the link to my conf: http://www.theshipmanfamily.com/smb.conf I cannot see MOBY10 from WINXP. Can you tell me what have I done wrong? There us a user eddie with a password. I have a Linksys router and use DHCP for 3 computers. The only XP computer I want connecting to Gutsy has IP 192.168.0.101.
