samba - Jun 2008 - Using Samba with cygwin on Xp

Gooday All
 
I installed Samba with cygwin on Xp Pro Pc and managed to share my folders
to other users. I have just two problems.
 
1. When I work at the machine with Samba installed I no longer seem to be
able to browse the net work through My Network Places.
    Also when I click on "View Workgroup Computers" none of the
computers on
my Network appears.
 
2. My printers no longer lists under the control panel and only reapears
after I disabled Samba. How can I configure Samba
    to show my printers
 
Thanks in andvance for your help

You are running samba on a windows machine? And you expect that the
windows implementation of cifs will somehow work on the same ports
that samba is using??
