samba - Jan 2000 - using samba to authenticate

Hi all,

I need some help with samba, I have RH6.0 and samba 2.0.5 now I would like
to set the system
so that any user from the windows network can log on to the Linux box
without creating a new user
everytime. Is this possible?

Set guest ok = yes ?

Last year I used samba as my Linux file server and my students and I were very
happy with it. Now "they" have connected the lab to the district's
WAN and they haven't provided us with a file server. I install Red
Hat Linux 5.2 with dual boot on a computer just to see if it can be done and I
don't have a lot of success with it.
When Linux boots up and it starts the smb and nmb processes it waits there for a
very long time. I read the address it is given and I can ping it from a computer
but the  same computer when I click on Network
Neighborhood I get an error message that a network doesn't exist, or
something close to that.
Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks for your time,
