No samba running here nor are there any shared defined. I suspect you 
need to uncomment the line below...or start samba. Change it to 
something appropriate. 192.168.122.1 is most probably NOT it.

; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0

samba running on Aphrodite. No shares defined too (okay...cdrom and 
printers...) and nmbd not running...I'd suggest choosing either one to 
run a wins service and then setting up dhcp to inform windows boxes to 
use the wins service for name resolution.
