Help with samba

Hi I am trying to set up samba. I have setup the smb.conf file as best I can and can ping the Linux box from my win95 machine, however I can not log on from my win95 client. How do I setup my win95 client to connect to Linux ?. How do I setup shares on Linux ?. Is there any help documentation available which outlines step by step ( for a newbee) the process of connecting win95 clients. I have spent time looking at the man pages and the FAQ but can not see the answers that I seek. Kuldip Singh
