RE: respin question please

["David A. Glass" <webdev@xsive.com>]

About the samba connection:

You might need to place the winblowz machine name & ip address in 
/etc/hosts & /etc/lmhosts
i.e.
192.168.1.20	winblowz	winblowz.localdomain.com
This way samba knows where //winblowz is

Just my .02 worth..
Have a great Thanksgiving!
