Subject: samba (and also a little bit sound)

Hello,
I'm rather a newbie to Linux (and to this list) and I've been trying
already some different distro's. In my opinion, Debian as (by far) the
best one (I've tried RedHet, Slackware, which I didn't like and SuSe,
which I think is also OK), but there are a few things I can't get right.
I have both a desktop and a laptop... and after a few months, I would
like to get everything working.
I want to get to a network with a Windows NT server. I know I have to
use samba, but again, some trouble. I didn't manage to mount the
filesystem, so I looked for some tools and found one: xsmbrowser. With
this thing, I'm able to connect so the server and read all the files
etc, but I can't mount the filesystem, even not as root. I really have
to be able to mount the filesystem, because I can't print if it's not
mounted (I guess). So, it is surely possible to connect to the server
and read the stuff, but I really want to know how I have to mount the
whole filesystem. I have a password for my own directory (although if I
use xsmbrowser, I can read everyones documents with that passwd, but
that has something to do with some 'server things', I guess) and I have
the password of the administrators (although I'm not really an
administrator...).
By the way, I also didn't manage to get sound to work. I get the message
'can't locate module snd' (using 'alsa'). I have compiled kernel 2.4.16
with some sound modules, but I can't 'insmod' all modules (or using
'modconf') I would like to. I try some of them, because I actually don't
know exactly which ones I need on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 2650,
integrated intell audio controller AC97 or something like that).
Any help?
Tnx,
Kurt Sys.
