Because of this I assume that nmbd is working correctly but something is getting messed up in the smbd portion of this. My workgroup is "@home" running behind a Linksys Router with DHCP. Currently I have my security setting to User but have also tried the share level setting, but the USER setting has no encryption because I ran the registry patch telling Windows to not encrypt my password.

Can you mount the drive from windows ie: Start-->Run-->\\linuxbox ? If you
can you probably need to setup linuxbox for wins support for name resolution.
Also goto http://de.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt for more
help.
