Testing at home:  Click apple icon in top left corner.  Click on Network
Browser.  Click Arrow to left of Appletalk icon-Nothing.  Highlight
Appletalk icon and Click on globe/disk icon.  Click on connect to
server.  Enter ip addy of my samba/netatalk server.  Window with shares
pops up.  Select home.  Enter my username and password.  Could select to
add to keychain.  Click middle icon that looks like folder.  Select add
to favorites.  Click apple icon in top left corner, select favorites,
choose it. 

Click apple icon in top left, click Chooser.  Click AppleShare.  Click
Server ip address.  Enter ipaddy of the netatalk server.  Enter name and
password of user. Click Connect. Window of available shares pops up. 
Double click desired share.  The share is now on the user's desktop. 
Highlight this icon.  Click file, click add to favorites.  Drag icon to
trash.  Click apple icon in top left corner, select favorits, select new
share (music), enter password.

Whether doing this through chooser or network browser, the ipaddy must
be entered at least once until the shares can be added to favorites.
  
Nearly the same can be done with OSX, but one can use smb://ipaddy to
mount samba as well.  My network configuration is nearly identical to
yours at Liholiho.  While I could not make it yesterday or today, I am
sure that I can get by there at your next available time to see what we
see.  Hopefully I can help if the above steps do not.

Of course, you already know a lot more about it than I do.  I wonder if
we have tried to connect by entering the ipaddress of the server.  After
a successful connection, the little clock icon will keep its path
"remembered."
