From my experience the best way to determing errors with SAMBA is to check
the logs.  Depending on your installation these could be in /var/log/samba,
or in $INSTALL_DIR/var/.  Either way, you are looking for smb.log and
nmb.log.  Look at these logs and it should become fairly obvious what your
problem is.  Also, there are machine-specific logs created for each computer
that tries to connect.  Look at those logs too (if they exist).
