sorry for having started this thread...I find Samba not easy to set
up, and iptables is running.
Anyway, someone asked what I am trying to accomplish: I will explain
and I hope to be clear, even I am not english-mother-tongue.

In my opinion this is quite common especially in small offices/home networks.

I have a network where some computers use Linux, some WinXP
Professional, some Win Xp Home (It happens also some Mac)

>From Linux machines, I can see any share on Win machines.This step is very easy
Now I want that any logged user (i.e. John) may see his home folders
on others machines where he can log as John (both Linux and Windows)
and any user can see a common folder located on a particular machine.

Now I will go through documentation and see what I can find.Tnx for
help to anybody.
And as the day has been very long, I will revert to you tomorrow morning
