I guess the smb.conf file is at /opt/samba/ because Samba was installed from a dsl package.
It sounds like you're getting closer. Just a few points -
LinNeighborhood provides a gui to access Windows from Linux. It is not involved when you are accessing Linux from Windows. And it has its own configuration file separate from smb.conf - /home/dsl/.LinNeighborhood/preferences. This may contain the line "workgroup = WORKGROUP" but this is not a fixed parameter, it just provides this text in the gui, which you can change prior to logging onto the Windows client.
If you are using DHCP, you need to do a full DHCP negotiation with "pump -i eth0", not just "ifup eth0" or "ifconfig eth0 up".
Or if you are setting up a static address, you may need to specify other parameters to ifconfig as well as the IP address, namely broadcast address and netmask.
One simple way to know if smbd and nmbd are working is that when they are running, LinNeighborhood will not only see the Windows machine, but also see itself!
