[Samba] Another Shot At It

[DJ Busch]

After receiving no response to yesterday's message, I tried some more web 
scouring and more tinkering and dinking around with Samba...and I discovered 
what may be a major key to my problem...

I have 3 PC's...2 are Windoze and 1 is Linux.  Windoze machines are likely to 
understand how to share files across subnets using the same workgroup 
name...but is Samba as adept?  I have a feeling that is at the heart of my 
problem.  

I enabled wins support in my smb.conf and assigned the Samba box's IP address 
as the primary wins server on the WFW box. I also set Samba to be the domain 
master browser according to the instructions in BROWSING.txt.  All of this, 
alas, was useless as I still couldn't browse the Win-duhs shares from Linux 
or the Linux shares from Winduhs.  I feel that I'm getting much closer to my 
goal (file sharing without using Windows) and would really appreciate any 
help any of you can offer.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
