nevermind. I did a search for Samba and found out to check the repository, searched for that and found it. THanks for your help, I would've never figured that out.

Here is my smb.conf file:
It works with win98. Im not worried about security
and I have not looked at adding printers yet.

Good Luck.

##Samba Server 04-02-05
##smb.conf file shown in /etc/samba directory.
## smbd Start mnbd start
## Must be 'browsable' to be seen by windows
## add smb.conf to filetool.lst
#
[global]
workgroup = MYWORKGROUP
server string = DSL Samba Server
security = share

[Library]
path = /cdrom
browsable = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes

[DSL_rdsk]
path = /ramdisk
browsable = yes
writable = no
guest ok = yes

[Website]
path = /ramdisk/opt/monkey-0.8.2/htdocs
browsable = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
