Sorry Guys, this is getting a pain !!! I have at last managed to get the windows machine to see the linux machine, albeit its still very wrong. If I use the find computers in the entire section of winblows network neighbourhood, it will find it and show the shares if I use the ip address of the linux machine, either the static address use on the internal port or the dynamic ip address on the internet port. The permissions are still wrong as it refused access to the printer, even though it was shown. The netbios name is not being picked up by the winblows machine. I have changed the netbios name to something else as was suggested.
