Here is what I get now form system log after making your suggested 
changes.  So I assume that is working... 

Mar 10 12:39:45 P2 nmbd[12025]: [2004/03/10 12:39:45, 0] 
nmbd/nmbd_incomingdgrams.c:process_local_master_announce(311)
Mar 10 12:39:45 P2 nmbd[12025]:   process_local_master_announce: Server 
LAPTOP at IP 192.168.0.141 is announcing itself as a local master 
browser for workgroup LOCALDOMAIN and we think we are master. Forcing 
election.

nmbd/nmbd_become_lmb.c:unbecome_local_master_success(149)
Mar 10 12:39:45 P2 nmbd[12025]:   Samba name server P2 has stopped being 
a local master browser for workgroup LOCALDOMAIN on subnet 192.168.0.177
Mar 10 12:40:02 P2 nmbd[12025]: [2004/03/10 12:40:02, 0] 
nmbd/nmbd_become_lmb.c:become_local_master_stage2(396)
Mar 10 12:40:02 P2 nmbd[12025]:   Samba name server P2 is now a local 
master browser for workgroup LOCALDOMAIN on subnet 192.168.0.177

But now (and before those changes) when I try to access my linux machine 
from my win lap top, I get the message that says cannot find path 
\\p2\opt.  p2 being the name of the Linux machine.  It used to work, but 
now for some reaons, it doesn't.
