Gerald I don't have any complaints from customers with Win64, but I don't KNOW it's OK. My SuSE AMD64 serves samba shares without any issues. I'd suggest create a public smb share, say /tmp. If you can't access that you need to solve the problem. When you can then resolve the passwords. Also konqueror -> network will show the shares.
