Dear All ,
I could be able to connect a FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 computer as client to a
Windows XP ( 32 bits ) by
using information supplied by the mail
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2013-April/250500.html
and I sent a mail
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-doc/2013-April/021857.html
to share my findings .
Previously , I tried to make a FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 as Samba server and
connect a Windows XP as a client computer .
By using The FreeBSD Handbook , many documents from www.samba.org and
Internet ,
I could not be able to access to the FreeBSD Samba server from Windows XP :
Continuously I have received "Access denied" error message in Windows XP
although in the server the related directory and files have mode
rwx-rwx-rwx .
The same message is produced even for Linux Samba Server .
The examples given in the documents are partial statements without actually
used
files / statements in such a setting , and sometimes inconsistent or
contradictory
with each other because they are mostly written manually .
If a working , applicable set of files / statements are supplied , it will
be appreciated very much .
After a successful implementation , I will send an e-mail about this set up
as an example for
the FreeBSD Handbook to share our information with other people in need .
Thank you very much .

My guess is your firewall. Samba uses tcp and udp, you have to allow
udp on ports 137 and 138. Turn off your firewall and try again. It's
frustrated me a couple times when I've first set it up. Either that, or
add `guest ok = Yes` lines to the shares. If you have a second
non-windows computer available, I'd try with that. Windows makes some
assumptions about what to remember, and sort of assumes the server's
working properly from the beginning. Using another computer will make
testing faster.
