shared folder problems

[Dimitri Mallis]

i want to share a NTFS hdd that has all my movies & mp3 files & stuff
on with the rest of my home network

on the wimdows side, i search for all computers on the network & it
finds all the windows & ubuntu pc's. i click on my ubuntu pc & it
askes me for a username & password????? so i typed in my username &
password (as in the same username & password 4 my home folder in
linux) & that didnt work

on my ubuntu pc, i shared the folder "movies"
i right click & click share

path = /media/sda5/Dimitri/movies
share with = SMB

name = movies
comment  = movies

i checked read only & allow browsing folder

in "general wiindows sharing settings" i have

host discription = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
Domain/Workgroup = MSHOME

WINS server has the top radio button checked = do not use wins server


so thats how i shared it
then i restarted
whent places
network servers
windows network
mshome

i can browes all the windows pc's
when i try browes my self i can see the folder movies
but when i click on it i get the following

The folder contents could not be displayed.

"movies" couldn't be found. Perhaps it has recently been deleted.

but its there & i want watch the movies with totem???

so what have i done wrong?

any thoughts pls, im seriously confused

thanks
