I installed drakwizard and now have the samba server wizard. I configured samba to share my printer and a public folder. However, from XP I can't see the printer or the public folder. I tried adding a printer from XP by letting it look for one. It only found the windows work group containing the local machine. I identified the windows work group to samba. What now.? Mike
