That's assuming that he has SAMBA configured for security=user.  He may have
it setup per share, or domain, or something else.  We don't have enough
information to actually troubleshoot his problem.

The 1st question is, does the samba server show up in Network neighborhood?
If not...
 1. Can the computers communicate in general?  Can they ping each other?
 2. Are they in the same workgroup?  Verify that the workgroup in smb.conf
and in control panel | networking | identification, are the same.
 3. Are they on the same subnet?
 4. What is the subnet mask?  You may want to specify it on the interfaces=
line in the smb.conf. E.g. interfaces=10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0 (of course fill
in your information here).

To answer broderick's original question, there is ALOT of information on
setting up and troubleshooting samba, that comes with samba.

Take a look in /usr/share/doc/samba/.  This is a DIAGNOSE.TXT that is
extreemly detailed.
