I didn't have that in smb.conf file at all. I have included the
following lines in it and restarted samba:
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/24 172.16.15.0/24
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0

So no client from the wireless LAN (192.168.5.0/24) is allowed, and only
from the wired LAN and VPN are allowed.

I see a samba log file for the VPN client from which I am trying to
access the shared folder. Here are the last few lines(the log has lines
from earlier today as well which say similar stuff as below):
[2010/06/07 13:58:21,  1] smbd/service.c:1063(make_connection_snum)
  172.16.15.22 (172.16.15.22) connect to service SharedFolder initially
as user nobody (uid=65534, gid=65534) (pid 8948)
[2010/06/07 13:58:46,  1] smbd/service.c:1240(close_cnum)
  172.16.15.22 (172.16.15.22) closed connection to service SharedFolder


Does this give any further clues?
