Hey yall,
I am working a problem with a samba server and I need some help

It appears that the server is not browsable, and when you try and get to it 
through my network places,
winblows reports that the box is "not acccessable"

what am I doing wrong?

Do I just need to start with a fresh conf and build it line by line?


here is my current conf.
