You cannot see it if you're not running samba on the FreeBSD box. The
window box uses SMB to communicate with other winboxes. And it announces
its presence on the net with SMB. This is what the samba package will do
for you, if you have to have it that way. Mostly used if you want the
FreeBSD box being a server to the M$ box, or if you want M$ printing via
the FreeBSD box. If you just want to connect and get/put files, use ftp
from the M$ to the FreeBSD box!
