What do you mean nearest area and long distance? Nearest area meaning same city or plugged into the same network? And how exactly are you trying to access samba? Are Samba ports open on your network firewall (bad idea), or are you using VPN? The only thing distance does is change your IP address (samba can be locked down by IP, but unlikely in this situation), and your ping time (causing connection timeouts).
