Your right, but I was adopting a just-in-case approach

One thing that *is* helpful however is to set both the windows
and linux machine domains to the same. In otherwords, if your windows
machine domain is 'workgroup' and the linux machine is 'mshome' there
may be conflicts later on. It's best to set them both the same. To do
this on the linux machine:

System|Networking|General
Hostname: machinename
Domain name: mshome (or workgroup etc)
Ah, yes. I forgot about the domain name altogether. Thanks for
reminding me.

I can't remember how I did it on Dapper but on Edgy, it's:

System-Administration-Networking, followed by a final click of the
"General" tab,
