Hi:

If all Homer1, Homer2, Bart are in the same SAMBA domain, you are headed
right direction. They should be able to see each other's shares/resources.

Samba documentation is usually vivid. This one (
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/FastStart.html#id2549548)
will help you further.

Good luck!
