Okay, I've tried to the best of my ability to follow the docs exactly on
this one, but for some reason, nmbd refuses to do WINS.

The situation:

A BSD box and a win95 box, bsd box with Samba, connected via thin ether.

Win95 box set with WINS of freebsd box (192.168.1.1)

All IPs statically assigned.

For the record, I can connect to the shared resource using 

net use J: \\192.168.1.1\home

I can do an smblookup on all machines in the local net (from the bsd box),
and it correctly gives the winbox's ip (although it gives 127.0.0.1 for
the local host, not 192.168.1.1, which I am unsure of...A shame I can't
get another unix system to query it)

And I can use explorer and telnet, etc fine on the winbox to get to the
outside world, so I know the network is doing its job.  I thought for a
while that maybe my guest user was bad, so I changed it to my own login
(it's also been tried as nobody and danm).  The docs did not say what kind
of password, permissions, or shell to have for this user (or so grep would
make it appear).

Help is much appreciated, as I've combed the archives already and not
found this info yet...

Many thanks

Discarding datagram from ip 127.0.0.1, source BSD<00> is one of our names!
