Can't connect W2K Box To Linux Box

I've installed FC-5 and Using swat I configured samba
But I Can't semm to Connect from the Win2K box to My Linux Box

In my Network Places
I can see the Linux box and the "Share" In my /Home/Share
But when I click on the share I receive the following Error

\\Linux\Share is not accessible
The Network name cannot be found

Since I can see the Share Then Samba setup seem to be OK
I don't know what is wron

I would appreciate some help

i don't user swat, so YMMV.

Is the user you're trying to connect with a valid user on your Linux box?

On the Linux box, have you done:
(as root) smbpasswd -a validuser
(enter password of 'validuser' a couple of times)

That will add the 'validuser' to the smbpasswd file.

You may also need to do: smbpasswd -e validuser (to enable the
validuser). Then try again.

man smbpasswd for more info.

My guess: win2k can't translate \\Linux to an ip address.

Is your linux box in /WINNT/system32/drivers/etc/hosts ?
