Note that for browsing you need a (pc)guest account on the server side
(FreeBSD). The machine should be in \win95\hosts (or what your windir is).

Also I recommend to examine the logs in /usr/local/samba/*.
I explicitly specify the broadcast address in the nmbd startup line
in /etc/rc.local (I don't use inetd.conf to start the daemons).

Besides this I recommend to read the INSTALL.txt which is quite
instructive and other related docs in the samba directory.
