[SLUG] Samba help for Linux Newbee

I'm an experienced user with Windows NT/2000 server, and some HP-UX/Xenix.
But I've never used Linux much until this week. Trying to get Samba to
work. I can ping the boxes and Win 2000 sees the Linux box in the
workgroup. So the networking side seems OK. But I can't seem to get them
to see each others shares.

 Problem: Window 2000 "Rufus" can see SuSE 9.0 Linux box "TUX400" in the
workgroup "KENET", but cannot access any shares. When I click on TUX400 to
view it's shares, I get this W2K Error message: "\\TUX400 not accessible.
Path not found."

Shares:
ken (/usr/ken) Linux user
kennt (/usr/kennt) Linux user
smb-share (public)

Password encryption = yes

----From smb.conf-----
[smb-shared]
Path = /smb-shared/
Briwseabke = yes
Guest ok = yes
Printable = no
Read only = no

I tried to connect using Internet Explorer to http//TUX400/kennt. I gave it
the user "kennt" and the password. After three tries, I got this error:
"Authorization Required". No matter what user or share I try, it's always
the same.

What am I missing? I'm RTFM'ing all I can, but I bet I'm missing something
simple.
