[Samba] hi

[Hector Blanco]

yes... I think the workgroup must be the same for all computers (you can
check that in smb.conf)

You can always open (in the windows machine) execute nbtstat -A
IP_of_the_Free_bsd_linux_machine and see if you have a response (maybe
you'll find this old mail interesting:

I don't know if it has changed in newer samba versions, but to connect from
windows you had to encrypt passwords too (in smb.conf)
