Cannot connect to my Windoze network anymore

[JinTexas]

Good morning all,
For some reason I cannot access my Windows network from my Debian Lenny desktop. I have never had any problems accessing shared files on the Windows network. I ran the network wizard in the Windows machine to share a printer and now I see the Windows network underk Network files but the system times out trying to access it. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jay

I should add that I have no problems accesing the internet and this is a dual boot machine. When I boot into XP I can access the Windows network. So it must be an issue with my Debian setup. Thanks again.

Have you set up a workgroup? If you have you must configure samba in Debian accordingly.
type in terminal:

nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

You will see the following lines

# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
workgroup = MSHOME

Change workgroup to the name you have in the windows pc and save the file with ctrl+o.

I actually hadn't installed samba since I was not sharing files on the debian box. I could access the Windows network shared files without any problem. Only after I added the printer to the XP machine and went through the Network wixzard did I start having problems accessing the network. I did install samba thinking that would fix the problem. During the install I designated the workgroup name.
