Almost there with Samba..need help

I have FINALLY gotten my winds machine to see my Linux machine on the
network neighborhood. I can't seem to log in, however. My windows
machine asks for a username and password and I type in user names and
passwords that I have set up through the samba configuration and
SWAT..But...still can't seem to get in. When I change the security on
the server from Server to shar the windows machine inserts "guest" and
grays it out but still asks for a password. What am I missing here?
