I know this isn't a place for Samba issues... but the people on the samba
mailing list... seem to be stumped too.

I'm having the same problem like before...

I installed Samaba from the sources on my FreeBSD 4.4 machine.

I made a simple smb.conf file. I manually ran smbd and nmbd with the "-D"
argument. I can use smbclient to connect internally from my FreeBSD box.
In addition, testparm, yields no errors.

But... for the life of me I cannot get my useless windows machines to
connect to the samba server. I've tried it all... i've tried mapping the
drives... using "net use e: \\froggie5\test" and "net view" from the dos
prompt.

I can't get through to my Samba server...

ports 137-139 are in my /etc/services file.

I can connect to SWAT from my windows machine...

But... I cannot my windows machines to see my FreeBSD box on the LAN.
