As I mentioned, I soloved the ping problem, though I must admit I'm not sure 
how now that you commented on it.  However, I still can't do an smbmount from 
either linux box to the other, even when all the firewalls are off there's no 
login or r/w restrictions, everyone's on the same workgroup, etc.
I must be missing something, but I haven't a clue.
