[Samba] Problem accessing shares

Hi All,
I am new to configuring samba and am trying to setup a few read-write shares
on my FreeBSD box. Unfortunately, it's proving very difficult to access my
shares:
1. When I use the smb client, I see the following error:
vanadium# smbclient -L localhost -U James
added interface ip=192.168.0.2 bcast=192.168.0.255
nmask=255.255.
error connecting to 127.0.0.1:139 (Invalid argument)
Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Invalid argument)
Connection to localhost failed
2. When on a Windows XP box (with netbios disabled) I see this error:
> net use * \\192.168.0.2 /USER:James
"The remote resource is no longer available"
> net use * \\192.168.0.2\myshare /USER:James
"The remote resource is no longer available"
I have tested the Windows XP machine and it seems to be able to access shares
available on other XP machines.
I did create the username "James" using "smbpasswd -a James"
and I have configured inetd.conf as follows:
#CIFS Mode Only (aka Direct Peer)
microsoft-ds stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd
When I connect from the XP box (192.168.0.10) I decided to run a tcpdump to
see whether anything was happening:
vanadium# tcpdump -vv -i rl0 host 192.168.0.10
tcpdump: listening on rl0
13:08:53.899792 192.168.0.10.1265 > 192.168.0.2.microsoft-ds: S [tcp sum ok]

This, I believe, shows the samba server sending a "FIN" to the Windows box, so
I suspect my Samba config is dubious!
I have attached the smb.conf file and would appreciate it if anyone could
spare some time to help me out.
Any suggestions are very welcome.
Kind regards,
James.

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors.

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
