smb not working with Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Fritz!Box 7390

I had a weird problem while trying to access smb shares on my Windows XP computer from Samsung
Galaxy Tab 7.7 with ES File Explorer, the router is Fritz!Box 7390. Tab 7.7 could see the smb
server and the shares, however, when trying to click on a specific directory under any share
it would simply time out.

The solution is to create smb server in ES File Explorer (or file manager of your choice) with
domain set to: fritz.box. Once I did that I had no problems browsing directories and accessing
the files via smb.
