Tnx Olaf

What do you mean by teh Samba configuration tool from Fedora???
I have two network (at home and office) that are very similar, apart 
that the Samba machine at office was upgraded from RH8 to Fedora while 
at home I did a fresh install.
I didn't use any tool, I prepared a samba.conf file at home, I installed 
Webmin, I set user  etc... and it did work immediately at home.I copied 
the samba.conf file to the office machine, I set user and so on by 
Webmin and I suffer from this small bug (maybe my fault..., or I guess 
some funny thing happening when a particular XP machine is working on 
the network, that I can't replicate home because it is not a laptop 
machine.But when the network is operating and
And my suspects are on the Gates' S.O.!!!!

And if I issue the same command at home....
 smbclient -L localhost -N
