how to use samba

[Andrew McVinnie]

Hi

I have tried this procedure below, and it only halfway works.

I can only see windows servers that are running Windows 2000 or XP.  My 
mac os x and my other windows machines can all see all of the servers.  
Is there a reason for this?  Is samba something new? do old windopws NT 
servers use it?

Thanks
Andy
