Hi all,

Today I've decided to get started with Ubuntu. I've installed it next to my current WinXP setup and partitioned the drive manually. This all went rather smooth.

Now I'm fiddling around a bit in this OS. I've found the network icon and to my surprise my Windows laptop connected to the same LAN was found immediately. (I guess Samba is installed by default in Ubuntu?) The correct workgroup was also found. I can see the shared maps, but when I click on one of the maps, a window pops up asking me for my login name, workgroup (which is wrong 'cause it uses the standard workgoup name and not the current one - but that's easily corrected) and password. No matter what I fill in here, I don't get access to the map. Not even if I fill in 'Administrator' and my admin password. I always get the error message 'The map contents could not be displayed. - You don't have the necessary rights to view this map'

Anybody got any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
