I have a Linux box, an XP box and a Linux laptop. Both Linux machines can see the XP machine but neither can see each other! What can I do?...

Have you got Samba running as a client on them?

Not sure. I apologize for being a newbie.
When I check servers, Samba is running.
How do I get Samba running as a client.

open a terminal and as root type
# /usr/sbin/smbd -D
# /usr/sbin/nmbd -D
or just
# smbd -D
# nmbd -D
or it could be
# /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D
# /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D
.......not sure what system you're using.
Hopefully that should do it

Take a look at this other post on samba - http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5734
Something to take a look at, if you are running RedHat at least, is the firewall settings. Plus the above post has a very good link to some samba faq's.
