So if my username for my XBMC machine is just xbmc, I can just keep the it same? And then when I go into system settings I see the IP address as 192.168.1.101. Is that the IP I should use? or is there another type I need?
Thanks

So even though I have my USB drive named MediaStore, I should still put in 4606-54FE instead?

No. 4606-54FE is just an example. That's my number, USB. Your number or name search in the folder path: / media/ ..... you can find (name or number) it when you insert your USB Drive to your PC with XBMC

Ok. When I formatted the USB drive I named it MediaStore, so I'll use this path in my config file: /media/MediaStore
And then, how do I access that with windows XP? Do I just type in \\192.168.1.101\xbmc in the my computer window?

I have Windows7 and my computer window, click on the network / context menu map the network drive and enter:
\\172.16.0.122\Root
\\172.16.0.122\Downloads
\\172.16.0.122\Pictures
or I click on the right side of space and choosing refresh options.
You should see an icon called: XBMCLIVE (as in the configuration of samba)
or run command / insert : \\172.16.0.122\Root ...... and ENTER :-)
For you, by this entry:
....................................
[XBMC-USB-DRIVE]
path = /media/MediaStore
valid users = xbmc, www-data, nobody, root,
force user = root
read only = No
create mask = 0765
guest ok = Yes
browseable = Yes
writable = Yes
......................................
You can: \\192.168.1.101\media\MediaStore
or better
\\192.168.1.101\XBMC-USB-DRIVE
but still you have to check.......because I will not say one hundred percent :-)

It works! Thank you so much! Just curious, what do those two chmod commands do?

So everything has been working fine for awhile now. Recently, however, the IP address on the host linux machine was reassigned to 192.168.1.104, which screws up all of my network shared mapped drives. Is there a way to set it back to 192.168.1.101 and keep it from changing? Something like setting it to static IP instead of dynamic? I looked in network settings but couldn't find it.

You need to edit /etc/network/interfaces. There are plenty of tutorials online for that, and there are plenty of posts on this board about it. The rest is left as an exercise for the reader.
