Brian, I leave the password blank. I don't recall what pops up as far as user. Before, I tried as you did. There was a name and I belive it said Patrick, which is my login name on my iBook. I just click connect (don't change anything), and it connects. Patrick > > > Let me elaborate to see if I understand your suggestion...my username on my > iBook is ifish. My username on my dell is fishXP. When I select 'Connect > to Server' on my iBook and select the appropriate workgroup and computer > name, the login box that pops up has the correct workgroup name but says > ifish in the username box, which is my username for my iBook.

Thanks for the suggestions. > -Brian
