Hi,
I'm a complete noob when it comes to Linux (I've been using Microsoft
operating systems since 1983).
No worries there - we all started at that point.
Any suggestions or offers of help greatfully accepted (or pointers to
linux-nerds-r-us services in Christchurch).
The problem is that the network interface is being established when you
log in as a user with the keyboard on your headless box.
Inside the network configuration gui, there is a tickbox at the bottom of
the screen which says (or something like),
"make interface available to all users".
Make sure this box is ticked, so the interface is created at boot time.

I found that the package
libpam-smbpass
was not installed by default. This should be installed - adding it helped
samba work for me. (along with gvfs).

Hope this helps - any questions, please ask.
Derek.
