Hi -

  I would check to make sure that Samba is configured to use encrypted 
passwords:

  1.    Did you create the SMB Password file?
  2.    Did you modify smb.conf with the correct parameters?

you should have:

security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /usr/local/etc/private/smbpasswd (or wherever it's hiding)

I ran into this problem with my XP box - I guess that original MS OS's 
(95, etc) had unencrypted passwords, so Samba doesn't use encryption by 
default.
