5.1 and Samba/can't make it work!

Setting NT1 as the protocol gets the browser working , There used to be a warning about this guess  I should have remembered!  Making a working connection is something else.  Just about everything you do requires an additional login and when you do that it tells you you are already logged in- UGGGH!  It would be nice if there was a step by step procedure to make a connection, if I ever firure this out maybe I will make one.
Thanks all, for the help

Alex Taylor:
You're only prompted for a login if you leave "New logon" selected for authentication on the connection dialog. 

I agree this could be a bit more obvious.

R.M. Klippstein:
O.k. Now I understand, Thanks Alex, you put a lot of work in this new version thanks for that also.

In the next version I'm hoping to make it pre-select one of the already-logged-on credentials in that dropdown, if there are any.  I still need to work out the logic though.  (You can already do this manually from the command line, using e.g. "connect /user:WORKGROUP\alex".)

Another possibly non-obvious feature is that if you set specific credentials for browsing in the Network Browser (under the Network->Authenticate menu - it offers any credentials which are already logged in), it will pre-select that user by default when you connect to a share from within the Browser. (This doesn't apply if connecting outside the Browser, though.)

By the way, I always welcome suggestions for improving the help (both the individual program help or the ArcaMapper Guide). Some of the concepts are admittedly a bit convoluted.
