Linux box CAN print to printer shared off XP box, I can see files and put
files on that box.

XP Box can NOT see Linux box.

I'm fairly sure my samba.conf is correct, I believe I have a user and
samba password that works, but the XP box doesn't even show another box on
the network.

I've goggle'd all over and read ten different sites for Samba conf but I'm
not sure this is the problem.
