How to use Samba and access Windows ?


I am trying to access my windows laptop but it's troublesome. I use gnome and start samba with
# svcadm enable samba
and in the file explorer I click to the found networks. But then file explorer thinks for a while and reports:

"The folder contents could not be displayed.

Windows network: workgroup couldn't be found. Perhaps it has recently been deleted."

Other times I have succeeded to browse my Windows laptop. But I dont understand why it sometimes work, other times not. What am I doing wrong?

It works sometimes, other times not. I have never disabled firewall. I think that I have to read the manual for samba and configure it properly. *sigh*
