It seems that when samba is installed and the .conf is generated, it 
used 192.168.0.x as the router/client ips. However, my router uses 
192.168.2.x for all addresses. So, I changed all occurrences of the .0.x 
to .2.x in the conf file and now everything works! Go figure!

Thanks for everyone's help

Mike
