I have tried that and the Win95 Pc keeps reporting password incorrect, 
looking at the debug log it appears that the user is trying to log on 
with their user name 'TPH', if I do an smbclient with a -U tph and hit 
return for the password it is reporting user details as 'nobody' which 
is correct. Has anyone any ideas how to get a guest user on without 
Win95 causing probs with usernames and passwords.
