It doesn't look partial to me - it looks like you have successfully
mounted a windows share on your Linux box.

If you mean:

I don't know exactly what you were trying to do there.

This entry:

> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  216 2003-04-09 15:41 Internet Radio on Yahoo! Music.url

looks to me like it is a file containing the URL. wget normally expects
the URL as an option, not in a file containing a URL; to do that, use
the -i option to wget.

What do you mean "open X windows with samba"?

Don't understand that, looks like a windows permissions problem to me.
Maybe a windows person can help out there.

I hope that goes easier. One thing you could try would be completely
de-installing samba and reinstalling it. This is basically just to make
sure that the detritus from all your experiments is cleared out :-)
