Can you help me with that share name thing?  Does that go in the
   global section?  I've checked the man page for smb.conf, and still
   couldn't find anything about this parameter.  I've set the
   workgroup for the appropriate windows workgroup name.  Is this what
   you were talking about?  I've got the password correct, but now the
   message comes up "The share name was not found.  Make sure you
   typed it correctly."
   
   Thanks again,
   
   Brian

Adding a share is fairly simple... Say for instance you wanted to
share out your CDROM which is mounted on your system as '/cdrom', you
could add this to the bottom of your smb.conf:

[cdrom]
  comment = CD-ROM drive
  path = /cdrom
  guest ok = no
  read only = yes

You can then try mounting the share \\yourhost\cdrom on the Win95 PC.
There are more options that you can give to a share that are
documented in the man pages.
