[Samba] Configuring smbfs and general samba confusion

My SuSE Linux 10.0 box is set up as a Samba server with WINS support.
When I try to to enable smbfs using YaST System Services (Runlevel), the
response is:
----------------------------------------------------------------
/etc/init.d/smbfs start returned 6 (program is not configured)
Mount SMB/CIFS File Systems ..unused
----------------------------------------------------------------
nmb and smb are both being started. How do I configure smbfs?
When browsing SMB shares, I can see my workgroup and under that my Linux
box. (My Windows boxes are missing.) It doesn't matter whether the
firewall is on or off.
Another curious feature is that typing smb://Wombat/ gives an error, but
smb://wombat/Temp works fine (//Wombat/Temp is a windows share).
Winbind is not included in my SuSE installation. Do I need it?
>From the Windows side, My Linux box doesn't show up in my Windows
network, but I can access my Samba shares by setting them up as network
places.
Can anyone help? /etc/samba/smb.conf is shown below.
Many thanks!
