I'm trying to set it up so I can access my home directory from my windows 
box...  I've got it so I can mount the windows directory on the linux box, 
so I'm not totally clueless...

I ran smbd -D and did a ps xa | grep smb and it didn't show up so I tried 
running it again same result, but when I looked in the log file, the 
second time it complained that the address was already in use, so it must 
be running...

when I do a network neighborhood check from the windows box I can't see 
the linux box listed, and when I tried to connect to the share (I was 
guessing at the share name) \\computer\username but it didn't connect...

I did a smbadduser and set a password so that isn't the trouble...

Can anyone add anything here?
