Eek, sorry it took me so long to respond. Your post seemed to have gotten lost in the forums and I didn't realize you responded
My XP box has Norton firewall is already set up to accept all 192.168.0.* connections - plus telnet works and my linux box is pingable. So the pcs can definitely see each other on the network.
I am thinking the problem has something to do with permissions on the linux box. (smbpasswd i guess?)
