*sigh*

2 minutes later after a quick visit to Google..

My setup was failing with this command:

H:\Documents and Settings\Dan Langille>net view \\xeon
System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.


H:\Documents and Settings\Dan Langille>

After doing the search mentioned in the previous section, I added this to
the [Globals] section of my smb.conf file.
nt acl support = no
Then I restarted samba:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh stop
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh start
After adding that item, I was successful in that test:
H:\Documents and Settings\Dan Langille>net view \\xeon
Shared resources at \\xeon

Samba 2.2.6pre2

Share name  Type  Used as  Comment

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
public      Disk           A place to store stuff
The command completed successfully.


H:\Documents and Settings\Dan Langille>
That looks much better
