"could not connect to host - localhost"

[Ron Woodall]

Hi All:

	I'm running Mandrake 8.1 (downloaded) and the install went fine. 
Configuring Samba however is another story. I get the message "could not 
connect to host - localhost" on the Linux box. I cannot see the network 
from the Linux system. The Linux system is visable from Win'98SE as are the 
shares but I cannot access them "password is incorrect".

	This does not appear to be a single problem but a combination of problems 
so any guidance would be appreciated. I've searched the faq with no results 
and read the DOCs and a bunch of other stuff and I'm into day 6 of 
frustration here.

	Thanks for the help.
