Setting Up Samba with a LinkSYS Cable Router

I can not get my linux server to show up in my network neighborhood in
windows98.  I am using a LINKSYS cable router to network two pcs together.  I
know my network is working fine because I can connect from one windows pc to
another but not to the linux box.

I think the problem has something to do with the router be a DHCP server.  I
don't think I am setting up some of the ip addresses or names correctly to
allow the machines to talk to one another.

Has anyone had any experience connecting a linux and windows pc using LINKSYS
DSL/CABLE ROUTER??  If so,  maybe you could tell me what I may need to do.

Also, when I run "smbclient -L localhost" I get a connection refused
and connection to local host failed after it says what addresses it has added.

Thanks for your help!
