[Samba] Problems connecting to Samba through windows

[Joel Hammer]

Please provide more detail.
What is the error message you are getting?
Which machine are you running the command on? Which machine are you trying

Forget swat. If you mention it once more I'll hang up.
What do you see with:
ps ax | grep mbd | grep -v grep
at the linux server?
