How did you install samba? Via apt or did you compile it? Do you have
all the hostnames/IP addresses of all your client machines in
/etc/hosts on debian?

I doubt that DHCP has anything to do with your problem, but you can
check this by setting it statically on those machines.

If you are having problems pinging, you probably have some ipchains or
iptables rules. What does ipchains -L (or iptables -L) show you?

My problem is that my windows machines can't connect to print.  According to the log.smbd it looks like it calls lib/access.c:check_access and is returned Denied connection from (192.168.0.13).  I get the same thing from the other windows maching except an address of 192.168.0.10.
