Tried that. Those two are synonyms for the read only attribute. I
tried setting the share attribute read only to no. I still couldn't
write to it.

I set guest ok to yes. Shouldn't this allow any users on? I'm doing
this for testing right now. Is it possible that my XP box is
remembering the settings for that share from the first time it logged
in?

What I do is I change the settings. I restart both smbd and nmbd. I
disconnect the drive that is mappened to the share. I re-connect and
try.
