If the FreeBSD machine is set up as the primary domain controller, it needs to be the network browser. The windows machines by default, are set with the Browse Master setting to "ON". They will compete for network browsing with the FreeBSD machine and will force an election (which the FreeBSD machine may be losing). In windows 98, you can go to networking in Control panel and click on Properties for File and Print sharing. In Win2k and XP go to Control Panel| Administrative Tools | Services. Under services look for "Computer Browser" and set this to manual. I'm not sure if it will solve your problem but I had some of the same problems and this worked for me.
