CRISM

I installed the i386 version of Hardy, and the installation went well except for one problem. I tried to share a folder over the LAN, and was prompted to install Samba. I did that, set permissions on the folder for full access by user, group, and others. Then right-clicked on the folder to share and activated all options for sharing. But the folder never showed up for access on the network, even after a reboot to make sure all settings were in effect. I cannot get the right-click sharing options to work. However, I can manually edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and after making the appropriate entries for sharing, the folder does show up on the network.
It therefore appears that my right-click option for file sharing is not working. Is there another piece of software I need to download or another setting that needs to be made? I've never had this problem with previous versions of Ubuntu.
