[Samba] can't get into home dir share (username stuck on "guest")

[Matthew J. DiBattista]

You also need valid users = there names or ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxw
	  (need to say who is allowed)

Sincerely,

Hi.  I'm not sure if you need all that in "homes", all I have is the
following and everything seems to work OK.  It's just what Samba created by
default.

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	read only = No
	browseable = No

i have my samba-2.2.7a setup to share home dirs as follows:
[homes]
browseable = yes
writable = yes
valid users = %S
create mode = 0664
directory mode = 0775

the problem is that when logged on as a given user in windows, that user
will see his/her home dir in "my network places", but when he/she tries to
enter it, a dialog comes up prompting for a password only.  the input field
is greyed out but filled in with "computername/guest".

how can i remedy this problem?

thanks for the help.
