It's been a while since I set up my home network, and my memory isn't as good as it once was, but I recall having some problems which seemed to be caused by windows being free to use either TCP/IP or IPX for it's file sharing.
I have never found anything that uses IPX at all (maybe I don't use enough software :-) - and have removed the protocol altogether from my networking.
I just left:
NetBEUI (for local Windows machines - won't go through our IP router to the net)
TCP/IP (for Windows-->Linux)
This combination seems to work fine.
