not listening

Samba 2.0.6 (as distributed w/ FreeBSD 3.4 Walnut Creek CDs in ports
collection)

I'm trying to setup a samba server on my network. My network is not quite as
simple as examples in documentation, because it has an NT server running as
a PDC. I'm following the troubleshooting steps in book "teach yourself samba
in 24 hrs" chapter 11 trouble shooting. I get to "step 7: Connecting to a
share locally" where I enter the following command "smbclient
'\\SAMBA01\tmp' -U <my_user_name>" (where <my_user_name> is replaced with my
actual user name>. I get the following error return: (the ###s in ip
addresses are actually the correct ip addresses)

added interface ip=###.###.###.132 bcast=###.###.###.###
nmask=###.###.###.###
Got a positive name query response from ###.###.###.132 (###.###.###.132)
session request to SAMBA01 failed (Not listening for calling name)
Got a positive name query response from ###.###.###.132 (###.###.###.132)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening for calling name)

I already searched the archive, and yes there is a "hosts allow =" line with
"127." in it for the loop back. I even tried putting the machine's whole ip
in, but got the same error.

Is this windows domain / PDC problem, or something internal to the samba
server?

I get also get "Not listening" errors in the log if I try to browse it from
Win98/WinNT workstations, which are also listed on the "hosts allow" line.

Wins is disabled on all my machines.

On a different note (this is probably a FreeBSD Ports question) I installed
the Samba Port, and the directories are a bit different from the Samba
Documentation, I can't find smbsh, and at least one of the commands in the
default smb.conf file (domain controller =) cause unrecognized parameter
errors if un-commented. Are the example/default smb.conf files distributed
as part Samba, or just something thrown in by the person who configured the
FreeBSD Samba Port? Does smbsh even work with FreeBSD? How can I get shares
working in the other direction for my FreeBSD machine?

Thanks, Cla.
