Krsnendu,
	swat only runs from localhost by default (see swat config below).  You 
can either remove the only_from line (not secure as password is 
transmitted as plaintext).  Or you can setup putty to port forward port 
901.  Then putty to your server securely and open a browser to 
http://localhost:901 to access swat.

[root at viewlib xinetd.d]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/swat
# default: off
# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \
#              to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \
#              connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser.
service swat
