larkl - thanks for the contribution.  It would be better to use password protection when setting this up.  But I do have a couple of questions.

I am assuming that the windows' user name must NOT contain spaces even though windows allows this, the linux side would not be happy.  Is this right?

If I set it up this way do I need to supply a password when accessing my linux shares or am I automaticly able to get at the share without the password?

Does this configuration work for a shared printer as well as shared files?

Thanks.
