Samba Newbie

[Joseph]

Try:

http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html
http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/print_file/samba.html

If you are still having problems, try to be a little more specific. 
What is or is not working?  How about attaching the global section of 
your smb.conf file.
