Thanks... so far I have the Samba installed and the Win2K client recognizes the Unix Samba Server. It's asking for a login from the Win2K client, but I still don't have something right yet because the username/password is not recognized... have encrypted set to "yes" and working further on the smbpasswd and smb.conf now for more tweaking. All of the tips I've received has been a BIG help... getting close I think. Many thanks again, fellows!
