Hi All 

, thanks Kwan & Torstein for the advice , but so far the windows machine
still cannot see this machine.
I have opened ports 137 & 139 on the firewall , I've altered the
smb.conf as suggested, included the chmod and chown  foe the public dir,
but still nothing.
The modified smb.conf is as follows:-
[global]
        workgroup = MDKGROUP
        netbios name = FW-GB7TF
        server string = Samba Server %v
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 50
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        printcap name = cups
        domain logons = Yes
        dns proxy = No
        printer admin = @adm
        printing = cups
        security = share
[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        read only = No
        browseable = No
                                                                               
[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        create mask = 0700
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r   # using client
side printer drivers.
        browseable = No
                                                                               
[print$]
        path = /var/lib/samba/printers
        write list = @adm root
        guest ok = Yes


The smbusers file as follows:-

# Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name2 ...
root = administrator admin
nobody = guest pcguest smbguest

I'm still stumped, any more suggestions ??


TIA 

Richard
