2. I still cannot interconnect my NT box with Linux PC. I edited smb.conf
file to add shares, setup security = USER etc. (like in the Reference
Manual). I can see the Linux host in my workgroup, but every time I try to
access it I get an error message "The network path not found". Also, how to
add Windows shares under Linux? Through KDE Control Center I added my NT
shares, but they don't appear in "Windows Shares" under smb:/

This occurs because although Samba is broadcasting the shares which it has
available, NT cannot resolve the IP address of the hosts by that name.

I.E. which IP address belongs to \\yourcomputer\sharename ?

You could fix this by setting up Samba to be a Wins server with priority
given to DNS for hostname resolution. You point your NT box to the Linux one
as a Wins server.

You also must then set up your "resolver" properly.

As it is, your NT and Linux box do not know how to resolve the names of the
computers to anything meaningful.

One quick way to do this is use the lmhosts & hosts under NT, and /etc/hosts
under Linux.

This is all covered in the Samba debugging faqs.
