ok, i set the global option:
security = share

then i have a share that looks like this:
[cjb_music]
   comment = Chris' music
   path = /home/cjb/music
   read only = yes
   public = yes

i can see the share in win2k and winxp, but when i double click on it, it says 
its inaccessable, network name not found.

what am i overlooking?

thanks,
christopher
