# apt-get --purge remove samba # aptitude purge samba Either of these should wipe out samba for you. Static IP is probably your best bet, although I think you can get away with having your samba server on a dynmanic IP since it will broadcast itself to your XP machine. # dpkg -l # dpkg --get-selections These will tell you whats installed on your system.
