Further to my previous post.

I enabled swap in /etc/inetd.conf and I can go to localhost:901 as
well. The problem is I still not be able to access to Windows file
server share folder. Do I need to configure Windows XP instead? Because
smbclient -L win-notebook tells me "Connection to win-notebook failed".


Thanks,
