I'm having trouble getting Samba to give me access to my Linux box from my Win98 box. I can see my Linux box in Network Neighborhood, but when I try to open it, I get a dialog box asking me to supply a password for the IPC$ resource. None of my passwords work. I've tried logging into my Win98 box with a username and password that coincides with my Linux box (nate). Didn't help. Any ideas?

Did you create a smbpasswd file? Samba does not read the Linux passwd file, but has its own passwd file. This does allow for you to have a different password for Samba than for Linux. The Debian distribution has a program called mksmbpasswd that takes your Linux passwd file and converts it to the smbpasswd format. Try 'man mksmbpasswd'.
