Win XP/2K login to Linux shares

Could someone tell me where I need to go to setup user login from Windows
machines (XP pro and 2000 pro). I have Samba client and server running.
From the linux machine I can get into the machines and files that are set
to allow this. When I go the other direction (Windows login to linux
shares) I get a connect to window with a user name and password. I enter a
user name and password that I have setup in the user maint on yast and
click on OK. the screen then returns with same screen but the user name is
changed to 'server-name\user_name' that I 1st entered. What do I need to do
or change to make this work. The network is a simple workgroup LAN and I'm
trying to make the linux machine work like a windows machine as to sharing
files and using network printers that are attached to the windows machines.

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure if you have done it but you must have created samba acounts
for users.
If this is your problem you can create samba users using smbpasswd.
