For a Windows => Linux connection I suggest you install openssh-server on the Linux system and then use WinSCP on the Windows machine to connect to the Linux machine. SAMBA uses its own authentication mechanisms, independent from the system login. It's confusing as hell I tell you :wink:

If you really really really want to dive into SAMBA I suggest you continue here: http://www.linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopi ... 2868&#2868
