i installed samba2.0.7 using ports and am having this problem:

in windows, whenever someone tries to \\hostname , it says "could not
connect to hostname", i must use the correct DNS name (as in
\\hostname.foo.bar).

I see the following in log.nmb : 

[2000/12/02 20:35:51, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:register_name_response(111)
  register_name_response: server at IP 137.99.xxx.xxx rejected our name
registration of COWBERT<00> with error code 6.

  *****
  Samba name server COWBERT is now a local master browser for workgroup
COWBERT
on subnet 137.99.156.168


my hostname is COWBERT and is the same as the workgroup name.
137.99.xxx.xxx is the WINS server.

smb.conf is essentially the same as the default except that: 
security = share
dns proxy = yes

this same problem occured in linux when i installed it manually, i was
hoping that a /usr/ports installation in freebsd would have fixed the
problem, but it hasn't.
Thus, it has to be something in smb.conf
