Mac and Linux compatibility

[drgnswrd]

Thank you for the suggestion.  I tried it and the Mac displays an error
message that it cannot connect.  I tried by host name and by IP
address.  There was the same result.  



All three machines must be running Samba, because mac and ubuntu can
both talk to the xp machine, but ubuntu and mac cannot talk to each
other.  I can ping ubuntu from mac and mac sees that ubuntu exits, but
that's it.  



Why would they not talk to each other over a common system?  Is there a
setting I need to set on either machine that isn't documented?
