Well as far as #3 (Windows Firewall) I do have it enabled, but it's not blocking shares. I can access shares from my Mac and my other XP system (which is part of the same workgroup).

And I've still got Guest disabled, but created an account for her (which has access to the shares). I'd like to test this out before enabling Guest. I wanted to have a password for guest, but that's really just like making another normal account, isn't it?

To be truthful, this all started because I was farting around with her machine again and locked her out. Hehehe. Oops. Must remember not to remove the domain.
