Hi there,
Hey there yourself.

guys, I have three questions, I hope that if anybody could be so kind and
help me with any of them ...
I haven't seen you on the list before. Did you read the welcoming letter?

Please always specify which versions of things you are running and don't 
fire off a heap of multiple questions. I've noticed nobody's answered 
you at this point and I believe it's because of this. We're all 
volunteering our time, and we don't like repeating ourselves. There's a 
HEAP of ducumentation on Samba around the net, plus the list archives 
(see below for links), and people don't like answering things for which 
the answer already exists. Especially seeing as though you haven't told 
us what you've tried to rectify the problem yourself. Having said that, 
let's tackle one question at a time. I'll start with the first one.

FIRST:
I have set up samba server on my linux machine and can NOT see the contents
of my windows machine, although I can see my shared windows documents only
from windows box in the same workgroup.
From windows machine I can log in to samba as normally with my linux account
and see whatever I set up in samba server, so from windows it is working ok.

Please, what could be the problem? Is there any browsing utility in RH for
accessing windows shares?
I think the easiest thing in this case is to download a proggy called 
LinNeighborhood. It works almost exactly like Network Neighborhood, but 
written for Linux. Use google (www.google.com) to search for it, and 
follow the accompanying instruction on how to install and use it.

Handy links:

www.google.com/linux (search for anything - you will find)
www.tldp.org
www.redhat.com (follow the links for documentation)
www.samba.org
http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-lin-soft-en/ (for  list of Linux - 
Windows equivalent programs)

As per usual, I've lost the link to the searchable list archives. 
Somebody else will have to chime in here.

Regards,
Ed.
