I'm making some progress at last I had to uninstall
absoloutely everything remotely related to samba Rboot and then
reinstall Samba and at last I can see my Windows machines again. Only
I can't see the Linux machine from the Windows machines and I've lost
some programs along the way too which I'll have to reinstall as and
when I remember what they were one out of interest was Rhthmbox
So any suggestions as to how I see my Linux machine from my Windows
machines would be greatefully recieved as this is where it all went
horribly wrong last time
