I'm trying to use a simplified version of the online manual that you can

My Lan Being:
Downstairs (Samba/Linux Machine) 192.168.1.101
Laptop 192.168.1.100
Wacko 192.168.1.102

Everything was going good so far until this point
[root at Downstairs root]# killall -HUP inetd
inetd: no process killed
[root at Downstairs root]# kate /etc/smb.conf

error connecting to 127.0.0.1:139 (Connection refused) Error connecting
to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused) Connection to localhost failed
[root at Downstairs root]#

I created the host, lmhost file entries and all that EXCEPT FOR tcp
wrappers, 
I did not create entries in the /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow
files. 
The manual says that a single entry "ALL" should be in the deny file and

allow file sould have: "swat : 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.1"

Which I'm guessing is why swat didn't allow me to connect to it.... Am I

right! I just couldn't find any simple explanation on the "tcp
wrappers"!!!
I opened the /etc/smb.conf file and found no entries at all in it....
But I 
went to one of the windows PCs and found a new workgroup (MyGroup).
Which my 
LAN is using "Freeballer"

Please help me out, I know kind of stupid questions but this is my first
time 
installing/configuration samba and the other online manuals aren't for
newbies (at least 
the ones I found, in my opinion)... Hey at least i'm trying huh?!
(trying to learn something besides windows)
