Thanks to all who sent messages to help. I got it going this morning by commenting out the guest user line, adding the correct ip address format 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 (thank you Monsieur Messner) and setting security setting = user (thank you Monsieur Trahan). I can now log in from a windows machine and write, read, execute files. As always, I appreciate the help! My next task...netatalk. Thanks!

I didn't open up a lot of stuff in it as it seemed unnecessary...but perhaps I'm misreading things and they are. I appreciate what you have to offer! Thanks!
