[Samba] Howto Samba and Win2K?

I've got a home network with using win2k pro.  Do I need to set Samba up as
a pdc for the w2k machines to connect?  Currently I've got my w2k machines
set up as a workgroup and simply set up Samba as a member of that workgroup.
My problem is that I cannot connect to it.  I see my samba box in my network
neighborhood, however, I cannot browse it.  I'm running Samba 2.2.2 that
came with Mandrake 8.1


My smb.conf

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = CCNETWORK
        netbios name = LINUX
        server string = Samba Server %v
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        update encrypted = Yes
        map to guest = Bad User
        root directory = /usr/samba
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 50
        large readwrite = Yes
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        printcap name = lpstat
        preferred master = False
        local master = No
        domain master = False
        printing = cups

[public]
        path = /usr/samba/public
        read only = No
        create mask = 0766
        guest ok = Yes

When attemt to connect, I get this in my log.smbd

[2002/02/21 09:04:51, 0] lib/debug.c:reopen_logs(337)

Any ideas?
