Make sure you've created a smbuser on the Linux box.  Update your /etc/hosts file and your /etc/allow file as well with the hostname and workgroup/ domain.  Make sure in your smb.conf file you've associated the computer with the right Workgroup or Domain.  If all this has been done, write back.
 

How do I create a smbuser? Sorry for such a basic question, I can't find a man for samba....

I have a home network set up, sort of...
My awesome, incrediable, debian box has sarge, KDE, Samba.
My problem box has winXP home.
 
From the linux box I can see everything on the network, can open shared folders, etc.
However, from the windose box I can see the linux computer, but cannot see or access any folders on it. Suggestions? (other than the obvious, put Debian on the windows box :) )
 
Thanks,
