Well currently it does contain samba, and there is a smb.conf file in /usr/local/samba/lib

Just updated that, and then start smbd and nmbd and you should be able to connect to n800 via samba. You might want to grab a startup script from somewhere and start it on boot, the startup scripts are not included...

In order to do the reverse you need an application that supports browsing the network, although command line tools are there.

In KDE using the browser you can browse the network for fileshares, its actually quite nice to use. I downoaded my KDE tarball ripped out samba/cups/gs and then replaced them using my cups tarball and its working great, new kde tarball will follow soon
