Morning All! Still no luck with Samba at home, so I wondered if I post up my various settings, if anyone sees anything glaringly obvious set wrong, could they give me a shout? Many thanks for your patience..Jenny. (Or are you all gritting your teeth and glaring at your screens by now and I just can't see you?)

Windows TCP/IP is configured as follows (jenny 192.168.10.100): IP Address set for windows box 192.168.10.100 subnet 255.255.255.0 WINS config disabled No gateway installed DNS enabled host mossey (linuxbox name) domain jenbass.com DNS search order 192.168.10.101 (linux box IP) All 3 bindings enabled Allow binding to ATM set to NO. Netbios (greyed out) (disabled I assume) (NB: My thinking was that as the windows box is still the one dialling out to the internet at the moment, but the linux box is the one i want to eventually, and is the one with the resolv.conf file, that is why i have set it as having no gateway, but DNS enabled, perhaps arse about face a bit here?)

linux box (mossey 192.168.10.101) samba version 2.0.6 can't find nmbd log? etc/hosts shows mossey.jenbass.com so domain name is same as for windows. (?) can ping one from the other happily. Can telnet linuxbox from windows. changed JENBASS to jenbass in smb.conf, no luck encrypted passwords already enabled. .
