[Samba] Unable to access Samba shares from Windows XP home edition
Can Win XP home edition access Samba shares? I have a wide-open smb.conf and still cannot access. Do I have to purchase XP Professional? That's not going to happen.

You should be able to access Samba. You could choose "map to guest" and set "guest account" to a valid linux accountt, or to root. But that is not a very safe way to do it.
