Nor do I really, but I've got a theory - haven't a single CLUE how all
of this Samba stuff works, but bear with me!

Seems to me that it's down to the name - try renaming '586' to
something that isn't numerical;
Use 586, ping says 'PING 586 (0.0.2.74)' - wrong IP address. I think
it's interpreting the '586' as an actual IP address - 586 in hex is 24A,
or 00.00.02.4A - 0.0.2.74? Adds up to me;
16.Ram Disk:> ping 255
PING 255 (0.0.0.255): 56 data bytes
16.Ram Disk:> ping 256
PING 256 (0.0.1.0): 56 data bytes
Solution? Try calling it PC586 perhaps?
Bablos.
