Samba is notorious problem.

This is not the only problem. It's very hard to investigate why it doesn't work and how to configure it.

I can tell you from my own experience, that the only situation when I had Samba-Windows networking working, is when computers were connected directly by cable with static IPs.

Dynamic IPs and Samba stops working. It's even worse when you get a router or other device...

I tried many guides, asked many people, hanged on #samba irc channel and got nothing.
