I believe that unless you have samba installed and properly configured you won't be abale to see anything through network neighborhood.

Should be 'ps -aux | grep smbd'?
Just because you have Samba running, doesn't mean it's doing anything useful yet. If you are set up as 'security = user'you will need to add users with 'smbpasswd' and ensure that the linux permissions are set correctly for those shares. Plus you have to actually share something in order to be useful.

will actually show the output of whether smbd and nmbd are running. The minus is optional.
It would be helpful to see the entire smb.conf to check for the following, at least: security =, encrypt passwords =, workgroup =, users allow/users deny, etc....

The only thing *I* could pick out immediately was the following:
on your "hosts allow =", good practice dictates adding 127.0.0.1 to the list. SMB may need to access the server as loopback functions
What client OS are you accessing the server from? If they are Win98, NT 4sp3+, or 2000, you will need to set the global otion "encrypt passwords = yes". I'm not sure about win95 passwords...
If you do this, you will need to setup encrypted SMB passwords for the SMB users by using
Code:
#smbpasswd -a <username>
, since samba will be recieving hashed passwds from the client.
I didn't notice a security = line in your global conf. This *may* need to be set for your config. security = user is the common config.
Again, try connecting to the shared resource with a UNC address from Windows' Start > Run. (\\servername\sharename)
if you can connect, things are good, but you're not advertising for some reason. Also, what does show you?

The space in your 'server string' directive is my first guess. Or your W2K box is female and you've offended her. You may have to spring for a nice dinner and a sweater or someting.
I'm not sure if it's changed in samba2.2, but your hosts allow looks malformed to me. I thought you had to use either a full class/mask statement (192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0) or the shortened (192.168.0 /24).

[04:12:53] [root@gs2 /etc/samba]# ps -aux | grep mbd
root 1101 0.0 0.2 2948 1168 ? S 16:12 0:00 smbd -D
root 1106 0.0 0.2 2308 1148 ? S 16:12 0:00 nmbd -D

'Aight. The samba servers are running correctly - Can you run to see if that gives any notification of errors in config? I don't think it should.
Also, what client OS are you accessing it from?
