I can't help with the Samba problem, I'm still trying to work it out on
my system.

My system also uses Wingate on an NT (Win 2000 workstation) server.
Wingate will only allow use of port 80 in and out from what I
understand, so all of your proxies need to be set to use 192.168.0.1
port 80 so set them in Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Proxy. I have not been
able to get FTP to work using the MandrakeUpdate program, or anything
other than Netscape Navigator despite numerous tries and emailed queries
to Wingate support.
