Welcome to the forum. I had the same problem. I just went and downloaded it manually here http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/damnsmalllinux.org/mydsl/. Go to the Network section and click on samba.dsl. Unless you changed any setting in firefox, it should automatically be downloaded to /home/dsl. Then open MyDSL on the desktop, click "Load Local MyDSL Extensions", choose samba.dsl, click "OK". After that, you should see a new icon on your desktop called "LinNeighborhood". After that you need to configure samba to work on your network. Open Emelfm as super user, browse to /etc/samba and open smb.conf (right-click on smb.cong and choose view). You can use the following if you want, this is what my smb.conf looks like:

#========Global Settings =============#
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
server string = Linux
security = share

#=======Share Definitions============#
[C]
path = /
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no

This is a very simple smb.conf, but works. In the share section, I put this so I can browse the whole primary drive on dsl. You can adjust this to whatever. You can read a little more here: http://us5.samba.org/samba....l.html. If you need any more help, just let us know.

Hey, I am a real newbie at this. I followed the above instructions and from my DSL machine I can see my WindowsXP shares by mounting them from LinNeighborhood. Very Nice! :-)   But my XP machine does not see my DSL machine! Do I have to start something else on the DSL or XP machines?
