time to hook your teeth into samba...
its not that tough, you could cut and paste his example into your smb.conf
and just make minor mods to suit you and it would work.

Subject: [newbie] Domain or Workgroup
Hi
Trying to figure out the networking for my 2 computers at home. Both have
WIN 2000NT and dual boot linux, 1 with Mandrake 8.0 and one with Redhat 7.1.
On the windows networking I never setup domains, but rather only a
workgroup. Is this a windows proprietary thing? And thus do I need to
change my windows boxs to a domain name and get rid of the workgroup? On
the networking settings in Linux I see no provisions for workgroups at all
here? If so, what will be different then I'm used to with just workgroups?
Thanks ahead of time
Tazmun :-)
