[Samba] Samba + WinXP Home

[Gaiseric Vandal]

	Net view \\server.ip
	Net user \\server.ip\share


Can you set up a share on the XP machine that the linux client can see via
smbclient?    Maybe the necessary services aren't running on the XP machine.

No, but to be clear, I type "\\server.ip.address\sharename" into the 
Windows Explorer (file manager) address bar. That's they way it's 
supposed to work--right?
