worked flawlessly converting phpbb 2.0.18 to SMF 1.1RC2following this steps:

Quote1. create a new database on new server, name it DB_1
2. install SMF on DB_1 ( when installing, use table prefix smf_ ) ***Admin name needs to be same as phpBB forum
3. install same version of phpBB2 on new server on DB_1 ( when installing, use table prefix phpBB_ ) ***Admin name needs to be same as SMF forum
3. then go into old phpBB forum admin CP, and do backup database option (full)
4. log into new phpBB installed forum control panel, and do restore backup
5. verify phpBB forum has been restored correctly on new DB server by checking posts
6. then go into phpMyAdmin and check your tables..on left hand side you should see tables with both
smf_xxxx  and phpbb_xxx
7. upload SMF converter via ftp to smf folders
8. run converter and your all set

guide from @jarhead9952: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=26551.0

upload converter.php and phpbb2_to_smf.sql to the smf folder then call converter.php via your web browser.

not a single hiccup!

thanks again.
