Samba is automaticly started when you start MiamiDX.
You can use a programmed called nmbd, I think you can download it from sambas webbpage.
It will talk to samba and act as a device, you can surf through your entire pc with that program.
You need to stop deficon if you have os3.9 or 3.5.
And samba should be easy to install, all is there on that webbpage.
It has non installation for winxp but it should be the same as install it on win2k and win2k is about the same as installing it on win98.
Some experience is required but no expert is needed to install samba and get it to work.
