I am in the middle of configuring Samba with one LInux box (mine) and one Win98 box (my wifes). I currently have no problem mounting her hard drive on my Linux box, I can see her machine in LinNeighborhood etc. The problem is I can't get her MY machine to appear in Network Neighborhood on HER machine. When i first was playing with this a few weeks ago I could see my machine but when I tried to log onto it a password was requested and I could not figure out what passward was wanted. I tried all that I knew for both machines with no result. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The networking works fine both ways when I am running Win98 on both machines so all the basics are fine. This is just a fine tuning matter I think. I am running Suse 8.0. Scott
Just one thought: Win98 boxes will not connect to a samba server until you add EnablePlainTextPassword to the registry. HTH.

I was only able to figure out Samba after reading info from these two sites, perhaps they'll help you:
