samba madness

I have a SAMBA server (version 2.2) that is doing 'share' level
security. This is because each share has a different user and password.
Somehow, the XP clients out there, when trying to connect to a share,
get an authorization box with the user name already filled in (as 'G?st'
which is Swedish for Guest), and will not allow this to be modified. The
shares are not allowing guest login. On top of that, my Samba server
doers not speak Swedish, so I do not see how the name came from it.

Is this something my SAMBA server is causing, or is it an XP thing? I
have done some searches but seem to to get my search terms correct as I
can't fine anything. Or not anything that I recognize as being relevant.

Things look ok from smbclient. But that is a bit of a cheat as smbclient
would probably play along with whatever samba does more than XP would.

Any pointers?
