I installed samba "sudo apt-get install samba". On one of my computers 
it removed a bunch of left over junk and then installed samba ok.  Prity 
much the same results as before. I have used ubuntu from the 7.xx days.  
On those older systems net working worked right out of the box.  I 
always had  a samba entry in system-administrator which I could click to 
configure samba.  The newer the system the harder it got to network.  I 
do not have a entry for samba in system-administrator on any of my 
computers.  The other computers all showed samba lnstalled and up to 
date when I ran "sudo apt-get install samba".
Still stumped.   Ross
