Confused by the question...Network Neighborhood is a Windows
Icon...service is not started is linux.

From the linux terminal...
ps aux|grep smb
does it show it as a running process?

netstat -an|grep LISTEN
does it show the computer listening to ports 137 to 139?

Are you starting / running this thing in XWindows? Is it freezing up in
XWindows?
