I've added a guest user with smpasswd -a guest, and then I have inserted a 
line in the global section of smb.conf:
guest account = guest
but it is still not working:

mammuth:~ # nmblookup mammuth
querying mammuth on 192.168.1.255
name_query failed to find name mammuth

Another thing that maybe can help:

mammuth:~ # nmblookup -A 192.168.1.9
Looking up status of 192.168.1.9
        "MAMMUTH"       <00> -         B <ACTIVE>
        "MAMMUTH"       <03> -         B <ACTIVE>
        "MAMMUTH"       <20> -         B <ACTIVE>
        ..__MSBROWSE__. <01> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>
        G2              <00> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>
        G2              <1b> -         B <ACTIVE>
        G2              <1d> -         B <ACTIVE>
        G2              <1e> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>

that seems it's working, isn't it?
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Luca
