Windows Network

[Dr P Dupre]

Hello,

I am still trying to configure properly to have this "network" working.
Now I can see the other machines on the network !
When I try to connect on one (for example belonging to the same 
workgroup),
I get: Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: 
bernath" and any machine shows up.
Concerning samba, I have: workgroup bernath
Security Authentication Mode User
Authentification Server: *
No Guest Account
Encrypt Password yes

Concerning the firewall, I enable mail, ssh, samba
I did not notice any difference if the SELinux Setting is enforced or 
disabled.

What else should I check ?

In the workgroup bernath there is several machines which are visible
from a XP machine.

Regards
