samba problem?

[ChrisR(sql dba)]

Boy am I needy! Sorry for being such a pain. Anyways, thanks to you guys I finally have Samba and SWAT installed on my fc3 box. I can http://localhost:901 on the Linux box. I created a share with the following criteria:

ReadOnly-- no
Browseable-- yes
Available-- yes

and then committed the changes.

From the directions I have, I should be able to \\localhost\sharename to this share from my win2kPro box. But it cant find it. Im guessing that it may be that the Linux box has the default name of "localhost"? I would see that potentially causing problems. But, I thought Id ask the pro's. So, any ideas?

Instead of "localhost" mount it by it's ip address: \\x.x.x.x\sharename

Ahh that works. Now its prompting me for username and password which it wasnt before. However root and the password arent cutting it for whatever reason. Isnt root like administrator?

[blammo]

At the command prompt as root, add a system user to the smb password database (not root):

smbpasswd user

Then try to mount it again.
