Hello,

First let me clarify my setup and then I will explain what I
want
(half of I want to do is already done, I just need a little help):

1) I have a Windows XP box -- computer name: singularity
2) I have a second machine running RedHat Linux 9.0 (with SAMBA,
computer name: setcomputing)
3) A printer is physically connected to the Linux box (working with
Linux using CUPS)
4) Both these systems are connected to the internet via a NETGEAR
router and fall under the same workgroup.

I want to do the following:
1) I want to be able to see a share from Windows -> Linux or
vice-versa
2) More importantly: I want to be able to print from Windows to the
printer (that is connected to Linux)
3) Both systems have Firewall turned on -- for now I am willing to
disable them to test my setup, although ideally I would like to be
have both firewalls ON and still be able to share files/printer.


My current situation:
1) The Windows box can ping/tracert the Linux box (and vice-versa)
2) The Linux box can see shared folders in Windows

Here's where the problem comes in:
1) The Windows box does not see the Linux computer (I did Start -> Run
-> \\setcomputing): I get the following message: THE NETWORK PATH NOT
FOUND

Your solution should NOT use the Linux box (or the Windows box) as a
PDC --
you should use simple WORKGROUP network. Secondly, I do NOT want some
links to some sites that give me directions how to perform the setup
-- I have already tried that.
