Subject: [newbie] Samba/Windows XP


I have a cable modem, a Windows box and a linux box. Both computers are
connected to the internet through a hub and both have their own IP addresses
to connect. This works perfectly.

My laser printer is on my windows box. I wish to set up Samba so that I can
print from my linux machine onto the windows machine. So today I downloaded
and installed Samba (2.2.3a). I've browsed the web, perused the Samba howto
docs from Webmin, followed the instructions EXACTLY and my windows machine
won't recognize my Linux machine and vice-versa.

Anyone have any tips or can point me to the proper web sites to make this
possible?

Thanks in advance!

James
