Won't get to try the laptop until at least tomorrow. I'm very curious to try the software suggested above to manage different profiles though. It might be necessary even if my "server" machine is set up correctly.

The only NetBIOS protocol I have is NWLink NetBIOS - it's not currently installed.

I do have Guest disabled. I suppose it's not a security risk to have it enabled though. What I did was just create a user account for my girlfriend. That way she can log in herself as I have my shares set with allow access to "everyone" who has an account on that machine. The hurdle is to even have my machine visible to hers (with or without specifying the workgroup)
