Read the README that comes with samba (in your package docs directory). 
It will tell you how to configure samba the easy way.  Samba sets up a
web server on port 901.  Follow their instructions and you'll be OK.  If
not, post what you did, and what is not working.

Gnutella is a protocol, which is what I was referring to.  I know there
is a gnutella client called Gnutella, but it is not the same thing.  I
started off with GTK-Gnutella, which I could not get to work, then tried
KaZaa, which was OK, then went to Limewire, and am now using Phex.

Also i have an 8 gig partition on my disk that i use for mp3's is there a way to have VMware see that partition as an extra drive and write to it and have it mounted in linux so i can play my MP3's? i need it to do that because i use KaZaa to download my mp3's(the spyware free version) and havent been able to get it to work in wine =/ Thanks in advance for any help.
