Sounds fishy to me :-)

Here's the setup that works for me:
In /etc/services (can't remember whether I had to add these):

netbios-ns      137/tcp                         # NETBIOS Name Service
netbios-ns      137/udp
netbios-dgm     138/tcp                         # NETBIOS Datagram Service
netbios-dgm     138/udp
netbios-ssn     139/tcp                         # NETBIOS session service
netbios-ssn     139/udp

In /etc/inetd.conf:

netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/smbd smbd -d1
netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/samba/nmbd nmbd -d1 -G WORKGROUP

Make the obvious change if your workgroup isn't called WORKGROUP.

And my smb.conf:

seagoon:rb > cat /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
[global]
   printing = bsd
   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   load printers = yes
   guest account = daemon

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   browseable = no
   printable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = no
   create mode = 0700

[homes]
        guest ok = no
        read only = no

[fs7]
        comment = seagoon:/fs7
        path = /fs7
;        public = yes
        writable = yes
        printable = no

[cdrom]
        comment = seagoon:/cdrom
        path = /cdrom
        public = yes
        writable = no
        printable = no
seagoon:rb >

This gives access to all configured (in /etc/printcap) printers, home
directories, and /fs7 [password required] and /cdrom [no password required]
explicitly. If you just want homes, I think you only need the [global] and
[homes] sections.

At the WFW end, you must be running TCP/IP (which doesn't come as standard
but is freely available). Also, I believe you have to have the LMHOSTS file
set up (I usually populate both HOSTS and LMHOSTS because I can never
remember which does what).
