Probably not DNS. If it's in that "Identification" tab, it's just the SMB name
of the machine. DNS naming is something your ISP has to provide you with.

The latter. You can name your workgroup whatever you like, unless you for some
reason have to log into an NT domain, which would be insane. :)

You can access those shares from anywhere in the world by using the IP address
of the machine you're connecting to.

Ok, unless NT has some means of limiting it (I don't think windows can do it
at all), you can't block your shares by the connecting machine's hostname/ip.
Samba under linux explicitly allows this. Of course, under Linux, there are a
lot of ways of doing this aside from Samba, but I'm wandering.. :) The only
way you could do it right now would be to put your machines behind a
firewall/proxy.
