Static is the way to go.  I mentioned DDNS because the discussion was 
getting carried away with unnecessary network services.

I you would give me access to your Samba server, I would take a look at 
the problem.  Making Samba work shouldn't be too much more difficult

driving me crazy with this problem!  :-)

I bet this is a problem with the encrypted passwords on the Samba side.
