No Problem. As Robert pointed put SWAT is an excellent config tool and comes with an HTML version of O'Riellys "Using Samba" which as an excellent reference for anyone just starting out with Samba.
Having been off line for a day or so, not sure if you have managed to get SWAT running, it usually involves creating or modifing a file for the xinet service. Let me know if you have not done so, I will dig out a copy of the file I used to get swat going and email it back. The O'Rielly book is very good at steppping you through various configuration issues and includes helpful troubleshooting guides as well for checking any problems.
