client code page setting for win2k

I am having trouble with Samba 2.2.0 on FreeBSD 4.3. I did a simple
install from sources, not the ports collection. Everything seems to work,
except for non-ASCII characters in filenames.

When I use my Windows 2000 system (with English(US) locale) to access an
SMB share on the BSD box, apparently no translation is done on the
filenames. For example, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS on the BSD
box (byte 0xDC in iso-8859-1) becomes a LOWER HALF BLOCK on the Win2K box
(byte 0xDC in cp437), whereas it should be translated to 0x9A.
