[Samba] Windows not letting me connect to a samba server

[John Heeyeol Yu]

Dear all

In my case, when I click the exposed directory through Samba in Linux at XP
explore, the ID in window is already set "<Linux Machine Name>\Guest".
I tried to create Guest at regular Linux and Samba account. But that didn't
work.
What else should I do?

That is how windows works.    Try entering the username of
"{DOMAIN}\{USERNAME}".
