If you did a standard RH8 install and enabled the firewall, it may be blocking access to the shares. To confirm this, just drop the security level to none and see it the share appears under the Samba server name on the XP system.
Good luck,

This seems to be common enough problem. I've used a variety of methods (command line as well as utilities like LinNeighborhood) to mount XP shares on my RedHat 8.0 running Samba 2.2.7. I get consistent problems the other way around. Despite a couple of shares on my Linux partition, I am just unable to do get to it. Network Neighborhood shows my Linux/Samba server but no shares, nor can I explicitly map the share to a Win XP logical drive.
While troubleshooting by reading Sam24hc13.qxd (an extract from an excellent book, I might add), I found that I run into trouble trying to use "nmblookup -B <broadcast address> <Samba machine name>". The same command works fine if I give it the names of my two XP machines. I somehow suspect this is the main reason why I'm having troubles elsewhere. Does anyone have an answer?
