Wait you mean that the windows user even in a workgroup is going to 
dictate what the  user name is in SMB? Do I need to make Machine accounts?

For clearity I am just using a workgroup there is no domain.

Also when the I go to map the drive  the user login dialog box  pops up 
and it is blank and then when I try to user with a good user name and 
password (smb user/passwords) it  1 doesnt log in , 2 it pops back up 
with one of 2 things either the workstation name and then a / and the 
user name like accounting/user1 or appoll.local/user1 either way I cant 
log in.

Any more ideas? I am googlen so hard I am bout to fall out.

Thanks
