OS 6.2.x on Pro2?
Not sure how I didn't notice this before, but should OS6.2.x run well on my Pro2? Any issues I need to be concerned with?

The reason I like to get the workgroups all set correctly is that when you browse the network windows will show you the shares in the same workgroup automatically.  
Have you tried mapping a network drive using the user credentials you set up? I only use authenticated user accounts though. Both MAC and windows will remember the user id/password so it's a one time event. Also, if you set your windows username/password to the same as what you use on the nas for a user, windows will automatically connect and not even prompt for the password.
FWIW I grepped my log.smbd and found only two entries for GUEST:
log.smbd: check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [GUEST] -> [GUEST] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER
log.smbd: check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [GUEST] -> [GUEST] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER
Looking at my configuration I think "guest" should have read access to most of my shares so I don't know why those errors are in my log either.
