reaching box via IP : SWAT & SAMBA

can ping my linux box from my xp box. If is use xp search for pc, i can find the linux box only when i use the netbios name, it will not find if if i search for the ip... I also cannot run swat from my XP box. Help is appreciated!

swat code:

Code:

# default: off

# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \

#              to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \

#              connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser.

service swat

{

        port            = 901

        socket_type    = stream

        wait            = no

        user            = root

        server          = /usr/sbin/swat

        log_on_failure  += USERID

        disable        = no

}

check the firewall on linux if it allows swat port.

bingo! I did not install the firewall yet it was enabled... I momentarilly turned it off (i have a hardware firewall) , how do i configure it to let my samba traffic in and out.... What are some helpful links....

thanks again!
