Working from this point of inquiry, I have diagnosed my problem.  The 
reason I can't browse the Linux machine from the windows machine is that 
nmbd refuses to load.  I can't get it to load from swat and I can't get 
it to load from xterm.  It appears on boot that it is set to load and 
fails.  No error messages.

Any ideas how I can detect the reason it refuses to load.

more info: when I load from the command line, it appears that the load 
was successful, but then, when I check, it is not loaded.
