    Thanks Chuck but that issue had already been resolved. I was able to edit the file successfully. When I gave up was when I was unable to even see the Linux computer from Windows let alone connect to it. I could ping it as well as see it if I logged on to the router but not from my Windows...

    In the meantime I found this: sudo -i From there I was able to use the cd command to get to the samba folder. Then I used: nano smb.conf The file opened in a editable window.
