Connecting via SSH to a samba server

[MatB]

Hi,
I need to connect thru SSH to a remote samba server from my XP box.
My idea is to disable the NetBIOS stuff on my machine, and setup a tunnel on
port 139 to the remote machine. Ideally, accessing localhost this way would
let me browse the remote machine.
I tried to stop some services (srv, rdr, netbt) but i could'nt make it work.
Maybe i'm misunderstanding something, but i don't know what...
Could somebody please help me?
Thanks in advance,

MatB

Hi, i already knew that HowTo. That's a different configuration, with 2
linux machines and 1 windows. My goal is to connect directly to the samba
server. I have no problem with ssh; the problem is to free the port 139 on
my XP box, so that ssh can take it.
Thanks anyways,
