Which version of Samba are you using and which version of Linux ?  Is 
it Mandrake ?  Need more info.

Samba starts at boot time if you've configured it properly.  You can 
download Using Samba in PDF or HTML form from the O'Reilly site.....

A gateway is a computer.  It's separate from your other  machines on 
your domestic network.  Get hold of Running Linux from O'Reilly for 
more info.  You've seen books at our meetings.  All you have to do is 
look at them.  You might be able to download that from the O'Reilly 
site as well ?

Thanks
