FWIW: my Samba shares show up in the OSD without having to use
the full IP.  However, my Windows XP shares don't show up at
all.  Interestingly, I had to change the FS type in my smb.conf
to FAT before it would show up.  This might have something to do
with it, as you would need to be authenticated to view an NTFS
share, where with FAT, anyone can view it as long as it is
public.  So I suspect their are subtle differences in protocol
between viewing a public FAT share and a public NTFS share.
