[SWLUG] Xp Pro won't access SME Linux :(

I'm running XP Pro and SME Linux.
The SME box runs just fine - I can access it fully
under Win98 and Win NT4. I'm having difficulty
accessing via XP Pro.

My server (zeus) is the Linux box.

I enclose the relevant info. Can anybody assist?

I pinged zeus (192.168.40.10) and came up with nothing
under the name
but with a response under the number.

I set the Local Area connection up as
IP 192.168.40.12
aubnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.40.10
DNS Server 192.168.40.10
Wins server 192.168.40.10

Zeus (192.168.40.10) is setup to recognise
192.168.40.11 through
192.168.40.14

Zeus works. No problem with Zeus - my NT box and my 98
box both work well
with it.

The only way I can access files is via Internet
Explorer FTP which means I
can read but not write :(
