Please help a Linux newbie!

Try and hit the "Reload" Button and then try and install the samba package.

In case you want to access your Ubuntu PC with the Win-OS Boxes, you 
need to configure samba (and that can be quite complicated). But to keep 
it simple try and change the following smb.conf (found in /etc/samba/) 
to your needs..

I'm not very good at samba so I ought to tell you that you can not see 
the Ubuntu Box with my config file in the network, i.e. you have to 
access it with windows by entering the pcs ip into the Addressbar as 
such: //192.168.1.1/<share> Other then that the scipt works fine for me..
