I had an easy samba set up ( I think ) because I already had two PC's
networked so I knew the PC side of the setup was correct.

Here's what I 'think' you need setup. Some things may not be required but
here is what I have.

In Windows :
In networking :
1. Install Client for Microsoft networks.
2. Set your primary Netowrk logon as 'Client for Microsoft networks'
3. Under file and print sharing set it to allow file sharing.
4. Install NetBUI and set the bindings to
    Client for MS Networks
    File and print sharing
    MS Family logon

5. Click the Indentification tab and make a note of the workgroup name or
change it to whatever you want. I think samba by default sets its workgroup
up as WORKGROUP

In Linux: ( I havent got the PS2 near me so this bits from memory )

1. If your workgroup name is not WORKGROUP then Find the smb.conf file and
change the line
    Workgroup = WORKGROUP

2. start samba up. It has already be set up to share homepages ( I think..
cant remember setting that part up.. though thats in the smb.conf file to I
believe )
    samba start

3. logon as root ( I dont think a normal user can do this bit ). type samba
and hit tab and you should see several executables. There is one called
something like sambaadduser. run this passing the userid of the linux user
and the windows userid. eg. I log onto windows and wojcikj and to keep
thinks simple I have a user called wojcikj set up on linux so I ran

    sambaadduser wojcik:wojcik

Now under windows open up the netowrk neighborhood and in you workgroup you
should now see the Linux box and within it your home directory.

Hope that gets you up and running.
