For some reason, when I turned on the linux box this morning, the XP box could
access the samba share. I made no changes between yesterday and today other
than rebooting the linux box, and didn't incorporate the changes you
suggested, below. Yesterday I even tried to sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
(even waited for 15 minutes or so to allow XP to re-poll the network).
So the new questions are; short of having to reboot, what prevented the XP box
from accessing samba yesterday and can that be overcome w/o reboot?
