	I've been working on this for about a week now and can't seem to figure out the magic configuration that will make my Samba server work.  I've gone through all the tests in DIAGNOSIS.txt.  I'm running Sambe 2.2.6 on Redhat 8 and trying to get it to work on a home network with two Win XP machines.
	 
	smbclient works both to the local Samba server and to any of the XP boxes.  
	 
	nmblookup -B SambaServer '*' works
	 
	when I try nmblookup -d 2 '*' it sees both the XP machines but not SambaServer.
	 
	SambaServer shows up in Network Neighborhood but when you access it, after several seconds, you get, "No service is operating at the destination network endpoint on the remote system"
	 
	also when I try a net view or net use from a windows client, it gives me the same error, along with the useful number, system error 1234..
	 
	the nmbd process is running and works locally.  
	 
	i've tried everything suggested in the docs short of adding more debug to the nmbd source.  
	 
	some relevant smb.conf settings are:
	[global]
	   hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.
	   security = user
	  password level = 128
	  username level = 128
	  encrypt passwords = yes
	  smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
	   local master = yes
	   os level = 255
	   domain master = yes
	   preferred master = yes
	   wins support = yes
	[homes]
	   comment = Home Directories
	   browseable = yes
	   writable = yes
	 
	Thanks in advance for any help!!!
	 
	best regards,
