addition to Re: Samba / Windows NT Explorer

Don't forget to restart inetd by sending a HUP signal to it.
This will cuase the inetd to re-read its confile.
eg kill -HUP pid where pid is the process ID of the inetd daemon

NOW use your browser http://your server:901

Webmin allows more complete access if you need to address areas other than samba.
