quite good :("

What I have done is:

1. Load the Samba using dselect and rebooted the computer.  I have looked in the
smb.conf file and the default values look reasonable to me.

2. Tried my windows 95 system and selected network neighborhood.

I am sure there is something else I am suppose to do.  I just don't know what.

Thanks,

Doug
