I *think* I have Samba set up correctly.  What I believe I may have set up
incorrectly is networking.  I have my Linux machine and my Windows machine
plugged into the same ethernet hub, but other than that I'm not doing
anything special to get them connected except for 
"ifconfig lo down"
"ifconfig eth0 204.180.205.31  netmask 255.255.255.0 up"

The windows machine is called "Basement" - I have them set to the same
workgroup, but smbclient -L frodo says: "Connection to basement failed"
