    No, good point. I have ;printing = bsd so that was commented out.

    No. Now I did & rebooted. Same symptom, i.e. windoz explorer tells me

    \\Swamisalami is not accessible. ... The account is not authorized to log
    in from this station.

    One thing I notice is that nmbd is running but smbd isn't (ps -ax|grep
    mbd). Is this normal behavior? more /var/log/dmesg.today|grep mbd yields
    nothing; looking at /var/log/log.nmbd the line

       Packet send failed to 192.168.0.255(137) ERRNO=No route to host

    sticks out like a sore thumb. I gather that lil' devil tried probing port
    137 on lan ip 192.168.0.255. That node doesn't exist; my dns comes from a
    win xp box called delliver with ip 192.168.0.1 and dial up using win ics.
    Yet for some reason samba looked at a non-existent ip on the lan; also it
    reported no route to host.

    Finally when I do a find computer on win xp for swamisalami it find two.
    One's just that, the other is that parenthetically labelled Samba Server.
    Neither is accessible. Finally when I look for my fbsd box by ip adr on win
    find computer it now finds it - also not accessible. Looks like I did
    something right and something wrong. (stating the painfully obvious).
