I set up all of my direct systems (including wifi laptops etc) with
fixed IP's. Doing so eliminates quite alot of confusion/errors etc.,
when connecting to the system and/or printing to the desktop USB
connected printer via wifi or remotely. However, I also allocate dhcp
ip's for guests & some test systems (desktop and laptop).

@joe: if you still can't figure out how to post the smb.conf file to
pastbin.ubuntu.com feel free to contact me directly & I'll be more than
happy to assist. Only thing that I ask is once we get the issue sorted
out off-list, is that you post back in the same thread (here) with
details of the fix/no-fix. That way others with the same/similar problem
can use the thread to possibly resolve their issue(s) as well.
