SMB/NMBD configuration troubles.

[Brandon Stauber]

Folks,

I am stumped!

I have followed every tech tip I could find and I am still 
unable to complete my SMB installation.  Specifically, I fail 
Test 4 and Tests 9 and 10.  I believe the problem has 
something to do with the NMBD configuration.  Below are the 
parameters of our system.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
