Sorry for the late reply! Been real busy today preparing for a trip. 

AFAIK, Winbind is used to authenticate your system to NTLM (i.e. the NT4
domain controller) or Active Directory. If you have it installed, I
think Samba will try to look for a domain controller on your network.
I'm not really clear on the specifics or details of how the whole
authentication process works. I did the whole Linux on NT4 domain thing
over a year ago.

For your own purposes, which is simple file sharing, I imagine a simple
Workgroup setup would suffice. You may want to Google for tutorials or
HowTos. I found this URL:
http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/sambaserver.shtml

You may want to give that a go first and see what happens. Try it with
winbind off and the appropriate IP tables rules (iptables can mess with
your file sharing).

Good luck!
