On the same subnet, you can resolve addresses through NBT broadcasting
and/or mDNS.

That's more interesting, since that ought to work!

I think you need to set /etc/config/samba to:

----
config samba
        option 'name'                   'openwrt'
        option 'workgroup'              'WORKGROUP'
        option 'description'            'openwrt'
        option 'homes'                  '1'

config sambashare
        option 'name'                   'tmp'
        option 'path'                   '/tmp'
        option 'read_only'              'no'
        option 'guest_ok'               'no'
        option 'create_mask'            '0700'
        option 'dir_mask'               '0700'
        #option 'users'                 'abc'
----

Next, modify "/etc/samba/smb.conf.template" directly and add:
	wins support = yes
to enable the WINS server, restart Samba on the router, then restart all
the computers.
