    To access Samba shares you will have to add the Windows user(s) to
    Samba's smbpasswd database:

            # smbasswd -a <username>

    To mount a share on a Windows machine, use smbfs with the username option:

            # mount -t smbfs -o rw,username=<winuser> //win/share /mnt/share

    If both machines can connect to the router and the internet, they
    should be able so see (ping) each other. (Did I get it wrong?)
