[Samba] WinXP client always connects as Gaia\Guest

I had this same problem with XP. I tried one other method which seemed
to solve my problem
in a command prompt window type:
net use z: \\gaia\data
Hit [enter]
I received a prompt asking me whether I want to use default Guest user
or to type a new username. At this point I entered the required
username. I have not yet tried to automate this so that users would
not have to do this everytime they log in.
I also found this link for the ForceGuest
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290403
Maybe this would the solution you are looking for!
