Samba and XP machines

[keithclark at k-wbookworm.com]

Ok, I'm at my wits end here.  It seems that nothing I do to the samba.conf
works.  I followed the How To at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 and it did not work.  I
can't even see the Ubuntu machine now.

Just about to abandon....
