Question new samba installation HELP


I am trying to get a file server up on RH9 and browse it from my W2K box. I have the two services running on the linux box. I can ping both ways. When I run smbclient -L linux (the netbios name I set in smb.conf), I get the message "connection to linux failed". But when I run smbclient -L localhost, it asks for the password and everything is fine.

Now when I try to connect to the linux box from my W2K box, I can browse My Network Neighborhood and Linux shows up as a computer, but when I double-click it, it says "network path not found".

What am I missing here that I can not connect using my W2K box?

Thanks in advance.

In a browser's location bar just type: http://localhost:901. Be warned that you first must make sure that SWAT is allowed to connec to localhost. to do so edit the file swat under /etc/xinet.d. Enable SWAT and then just configure your shares.

I saw this a couple of days ago. perhaps it will help.
