[Samba] Window can't see Linux share

Kevin - Thanks so much for your attentiveness; with your suggestion my window
boxes can see the Linux server and visa versa.  The Linux box can mount and
access the shared directories from all the Window machines,  But there is
still one glitch and I can't seem to resolve using the "Samba
documentation". It is :  While the Samba file and Print server shows up in
all the Mnet workgroups on each of the windows boxes, the directories (named
"Book" and "Photos" in the new smb.conf shown below).  Are you aware of an
easy fix for that.  Much appreciation in advance.

Jon

Thanks for including your whole smb.conf and IP address configuration - that
helped! I notice that your global hosts allow statement (and several others)
only allows for a subnet of 192.168.0, but the IP addresses you list below
is in a different subnet. Basically, you are telling Samba "reject
everything from the 192.168.77 subnet".
