Thanks for reply.
Yes, xp box is willy and on 192.168.0.1 and:

~>  cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
     workgroup = WORKGROUP
     server string = Samba Server Version %v
     log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
     max log size = 50
;    idmap config * : backend = tdb
     cups options = raw

[homes]
     comment = Home Directories
     read only = No
     browseable = No

[printers]
     comment = All Printers
     path = /var/spool/samba
     printable = Yes
     browseable = No

[Share]
     path = /home/share
     read only = No

When I ping willy I get nothing returned but it causes that same
alert box comes up on XP box and dns is disabled.

I can still ping numeric addresses including 192.168.0.1.

I need to reboot XP to reset.
