Okay, that's what I assumed. Kubuntu is running the Samba server. But why will 
XP not accept my un/pw combo when I try to "map a drive" ?

Does that mean I have to get a samba server running on XP in order to reach 
across from Kubuntu to XP?

I am really confused about which way samba goes and how.

I set a un/pwd in that kcontrol place and I still could not get a drive 
mapped. I (naturally) assume I am being daft!
