I've found that in the past if I share a folder and only allow specific users (such as myself) then I have to also add the user using smbpasswd... So if I have an account on my PC called bob I also need to run the following command in a terminal... sudo smbpasswd -a bob This will prompt for bob's password. Then when I connect to my PC from a Windows machine I simply enter the following in the run box... \\myubuntubox\bob It will prompt for a username and password if I'm logged in using a username and password that don't match. I can also however enter the following into a command prompt to map the drive... net use X: \\myubuntubox\bob /user:bob bobspassword If you enter the password after /user:<username> it will not prompt for the password although it could be considered a bit of a security risk.
