[Samba] Samba and WinXP connection problem

[Stephen Liu]

Hi All Guys,

I tried several days to get WinXP connected with Samba Server without 
success !!!

*** ipchains stopped ***

# mount    (as root)

looking like connected but the shared folder did not show up 
under  /mnt/WinXP.

Hereinunder are another sets of my test results;

# findsmb
