I quite like xfsamba. I've found it much easier to get my linux box running samba to connect to a windows computer than getting two windows computer to talk to each other. 1) "Are we on the same subnet" 2) "Yes" 1) "Can you ping me" 2) "Yes" 1) "Windows neigbourhood can't find you. Are you sure you can ping me?" 2) "YES" 1) "Reboot your machine...." 2) "Reboot _your_ machine"
