hi guys (and gals),
ive run into a problem with XP pro and samba on redhat 8, i previously had win 2k on my new computer but updated to XP pro and now i cant access the samba share from the XP pro box
all the settings are all the same as for win2k pro but the only difference is that i dont log into windows as administrtor anymore as i have my own account

the error message i get is something around the lines of is
'phrosty-boi (redhat 8 box's name), this computer cannot be accessed, this user not allowed to log in from this location'

this worked perfectly with windows 2000 but this has got me at a dead loss, im pretty sure its related to samba as i can ping from either box and everything works ok but samba just refuses to work, also i want to be able to see the XP box from the redhat box like a samba share but around the other way

and the last problem is that i cant get any form of ICS working and am unsure of how it can be done if it is possible, can linux access the net thru an XP pro box??

any help would be great
