Seems that there was using the "remote announce" tag. On the server I used "remote announce = 192.168.2.2" in the [global] section of the smb.conf file. I am aware that this may not be what made the difference And on the workstation (also a bsd box) I added "remote announce = 192.168.2.1" and "wins server = 192.168.2.1" in the [global] section of the smb.conf file.
