Many thanks all for the help with the printer hookup
problem.
I can now print and use drives/shares on my samba server
from my XP-home edition just fine.
My problem now I think is a windows problem, but some of
you have probably seen this or know how to avoid it in
any case.
My XP-Professional boxes seem unable to "find" my
samba server for either network drives or printer.
I note the following, hoping it might help you to help me.
