I beilive there is a place in your apache conf, the new ones would be
httpd.conf since they merged it, where you can specify the users directory
for html, by default this should be enabled. Try chmod 755 ~/public_html
then try it again.

Try console telnet, open source project to have a full screen telnet
client under dos. If requries win95/98. On www.excite.com do a search
for telnet and console, one of those link will take you there.
Also my freind likes CRT for win32, it works good, probably can find it
at www.download.com or www.tucows.com, I think it is shareware.

Oh yea, this is SMB, or samba as the natives call it. www.samba.org I beilive
on most distrubation it comes on the install media, though it isn't always
installed by default. The command you are looking for is smbmount. This
is only part of the samba "suite" or package. There is also smbclient, which
is more or less an ftp client that can access win32 machines.
