After following your instructions, modifying the smb.conf file and restarting 
samba and trying to connect to studypc, this is the list of logs that appear 
in the Samba directory. As you can see, the offending machine, called studypc 
doesn't appear smb.log.**** entries. The studypc logs that exist are older. 

file:///var/log/samba/192.168.2.101.log
file:///var/log/samba/192.168.2.252.log
file:///var/log/samba/192.168.2.254.log
file:///var/log/samba/fhb.log

file:///var/log/samba/nmbd.log
file:///var/log/samba/nmbd.log.1
file:///var/log/samba/nmbd.log.old
file:///var/log/samba/smbd.log
file:///var/log/samba/smbd.log.1
file:///var/log/samba/smb.log.192.168.2.1
file:///var/log/samba/smb.log.192.168.2.254
file:///var/log/samba/smb.log.julimobile
file:///var/log/samba/smb.log.smbd

file:///var/log/samba/studypc.log
file:///var/log/samba/studypc.log.1
file:///var/log/samba/swat.log

In my scenario:
Linuxbox is 192.168.2.1
Studypc is   192.168.2.252
Julimobile is 192.168.2.254

Connecting Linuxbox>Studypc results in error
Connecting Linuxbox>192.168.2.252 results in connection
No log is generate for either attempt.
The smbd.log has no additional lines in it after the try. 
The nmbd.log has the following:

Any other ideas, sherpas Pieters  or Dalloz? 
One other oddity. Studypc has two hard drives C: and F: - both have been 
shared. When I connect using the IP address, C: is browsable, but F: displays 
only the root folders - if I try to browse any folder, it returns an error. I 
have gone over the Windows settings for shares a half dozen times, but I 
can't see any difference between the settings for C and F...
