I managed to Samba working here over a serial PPP network, although it is
very temperamental (Samba, not the network).

Samba seems to have a very random startup ratio. Sometimes it'll work fine
without fault, others it won't connect until about 5 minutes later of
retries, or others it just doesn't want to know.
I never followed the tutorial in AA (largely because I missed issue four)
but it shouldn't make a difference. Also, I could never get Samba to work
with Genesis (I use Miami, but have both stacks).
However, I'd attribute your problem with nmbd to be something wrong in the
config file. Check what it says in Samba:log/log.nmb - it'll usually give
you hints in there.

You mean you've got SWAT working? Heh, I can't get that going :)
