Gang,

Never mind.  The difficulty can be explained simply--I have the same 
user ID on the Linux box and the Windows box.  Therefore Windows wanted 
to prepend its computer name to identify me on Windows.

When I created a new user on the Linux box, I logged on to the shared 
directories from the Windows box just fine.

Thanks for your time and consideration.
