I'm trying to access some shared folders on my XP Home machine from Leopard, but I can't figure out how I'm supposed to log in to it. I have file sharing enabled, including SMB and have even added my Workgroup's name in the WINS section under Network. I know that it is connecting fine, or else it wouldn't be prompting me for the username/password for the server. When I hover over the "Name" textbox, it says "Domain\Name".

 

Since I don't have a domain, I've been substituting my workgroup's name instead, along with one of the account name from my XP machine, and I get the fun little "Connection Failed: You do not have permission to access this server." message.

This is what I've been using:

Name: WORKGROUP/Test

Password: test123

 

So my question is how am I supposed to format my Name and Password so I can connect to my XP machine? I'm so close to pulling all of my hair out. I even reinstalled Tiger to verify that it would connect properly, which it did.

 

Thanks
