WARNING:  
	o this may be rather long since I included dumps from the log files.
	o This is also the first time I am trying to get samba to work, so do
         bear with me =)

	I installed Samba 2.0.3 in my netbsd 1.4.1 box.  I configured it as follows:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
  # from shado.proedint.com (10.0.0.11)
  # Date: 2000/06/22 16:39:32

  # Global parameters
          workgroup = UFO
          netbios name = INTERCEPTOR
          server string = Samba Server 2.0.3
          preferred master = Yes
          domain master = Yes
          wins support = Yes

  [homes]
          comment = Home Directories
          read only = No
          browseable = No

  [public]
          comment = Public
          path = /home/public
          read only = No
          create mask = 0664
          directory mask = 0775
          guest ok = Yes

where UFO is a workgroup I created with just the unix box in it.  Then, I
started it manually,

Then, I go to my PC (in workgroup PROED, with IP 10.0.0.11.  The unix box,
interceptor, has IP 10.0.0.12) and see if I can see the workgroup UFO.  To
my dispair, it is not there.  What could be wrong?
