I disabled the WinXP firewall (I have a firewall on my router, and I'm
using ZoneAlarm on the XP box, so I'm not worried).

I got odd results using the command:

root@lucien: ~
# smbclient -L dumbledore
added interface ip=192.168.1.164 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
timeout connecting to 192.168.1.165:139
Error connecting to 192.168.1.165 (Operation already in progress)
Connection to dumbledore failed

...and this seems odd because ps -aux reveals no processes involved in
connecting to Dumbledore.


When I try to ping Dumbledore, nothing happens.  Eventually I ^C just to
get it to stop.
