Cygwin won't give you ifconfig or ip tools (didn't years back at least), 
it'll still be "ipconfig /all"

Look at the subnet mask there, should be 255.255.255.0.  If they're all 
on the same switch/router, than they're in the same subnet.

Can they ping each other's addresses?  layer 3 is good
Telnet to each other on port 445 "telnet 192.168.0.x 445"  layer 4 is good
 From windoze, "start->run-> type "\\192.168.0.x\" and see if you can 
see shares.  Try more specifically if you know the share name.

If you want to test from linux back install smbfs packages (specifically 
for cifs) and mount as:

mkdir /tmp/cifs
mount -t cifs -o defaults,username=myuser //192.168.0.x/share_name /tmp/cifs

Layer 5 and up should be good if you can do the last, otherwise figure 
out where in between the problem lies.  Try in both directions too. 
It's more than likely with samba config, not the network.  Though I'm 
not at all sure what that 5.5.6.1 address was you were looking at...

-mb
