forgive me if this question is silly, but should he be able to ping even without samba installed?
 
if i remember correctly, that was MY experience ....
 
so i'm thinking the problem may be somewhere else (but BELIEVE ME, i'm the greenest of the newbies, so i could certainly be wrong) ...

I have XP professional and Mandrake 8.1 networked and working fine. Do you have Samba setup yet and if so do you have a user (with the same name) on each computer with the same password (same on each computer)?
