The Pi has a fixed IP address and hostname.  I see:

$ cat /etc/hostname
RPHS

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 208.67.222.123
nameserver 208.67.220.123

So the DNS seems arbitrary.  I don't understand what the DNS should be for a 
home network.  Sorry for my ignorance.

You can set the dns domain name on a windows PC, You no doubt have set
the domain name on the Samba server (just a thought, you have given the
Samba server a fixed ipaddress, hostname and domain name, haven't you
?). If your windows PCs have a different or no domain name, this could
be a problem.
