If the Samba server is well configured to work with your network and there's a shared a folder, you must be able to see it in Network neighborhood...

Sambe does not support netbeui or i am not able to get it configured :) . If you use the standard win xp setup and samba is configured it works like a charm.

Yes, Samba doesn't work with NetBEUI, you must use NetBIOS over TCP/IP...

You are so right i should have read the info on samba .
The other thing i noticed, when i connect to a windows 98 shared drive, it does not ask for a password. Even thought it's set up for it and using windows 2000 to connect will stop and ask me. For topic starter <a target="_blank" href=http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/> samba</a>, but there lots of info on the internet.
Most linux distros also have info on how to setup samba on that distro, so you might want to look there first.
