[PLUG] OT: Win-XP Guest Account Network File Access (samba)

[Charles Sliger]

Apologies in advance for bringing up the "W" word.

Does anyone know how to get the "Guest" account on a Win-XP system to access
a remote filesystem?

The remote filesystem in question is a Linux/Samba box.

The Win-XP "Admin" account can see and access the remote files just fine.

The Win-XP "Guest" account can see the local net under "Microsoft Windows
Network" but cannot see the systems.

All my searching has failed to uncover any useful information so far.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Chaz
