One thing to keep in mind is that if you do not have the nmb daemon 
running, you have to supply the IP address of hte Windows machine, 
or the address has to be resolvable.

You may also want to check the firewall settings on the F9 machine 
to see that it will allow the Samba connection. (I believe there was 
an option for this during setup.)
