Have you done "smbpasswd -a username" to create an Samba account for your Windows username? It's case sensitive and the password must match the password that you use in Windows.

Uh... no... :-[

Incidentally, my windows user and password is the same as my linux user & password. I set it up this way so that family members could (1) have an easy time remembering and (2) have a universal login that worked on all computers in the network. Obviously this didn't help with the present issue. Also, when I mount my windows ¨home¨ directory c:\windows\profiles\arthur to /mnt/chubby/arthur/, and pass the user and password in the mount command, smbmount still prompts me for a password before mounting (though it gets the user that I passed) This behavior has kept me from putting the windows shares in fstab for fear that a missing password might prevent the Linux machine from booting.
