I got it to prompt for a password, but not user. It's Win98, so it doesn't have
the 'connect as' capability, AFAICT.

I did a google search and found these bits to change/add in my smb.conf

	security = share
        workgroup = WORKGROUP

It worked like a charm. Sorry, should always Google before I ask :P

I'm not sure that's a good setting, tho, is that less secure? I'm behind a
firewall so I don't think anyone could access the share from outside...

Thanks for the reply!
