I started the Samba daemons under Linux with "smbd -D" and "nmbd -D" 
and now from Vista I see an additional LOCALHOST in my network.  But 
clicking on that brings up my own Vista directories.

Linville, sorry if you're tiring of this thread.  I'm trying to port 
some of my CoCo tools over to Linux so I can make some people happy 
who have been asking me for years to "expand your horizons", 
etc.  :)  So, the first step was to get Linux online, which much to 
my disappointment, is not an automatic feature as it should be.  So I 
had to take that first step.  But don't everyone go and assume I'm 
ill-knowledged with Windows and Linux.  Rest assured, you're dealing 
with an advanced techie who just didn't want Linux online bad enough 
to ever try until now.  The learning slope goes from 1 to 100mph in 
the blink of an eye, so watch out.  :)  When I wrote the CoCo Cafe 
script and compiled it From Linux to run Under Linux, I was at 
1mph.  Stay tuned.
