Great, glad to hear it.

It sounds to me like you don't have a Samba or whatever problem, but a
name-resolution problem on your LAN. Depending on how that's set up,
if you just have a bunch of machines on a router, then the router just
needs to be correctly configured with dynamic DNS or something like
that -- and the machines configured to ask the router for names. That,
in theory, is it.
