1. what?

2. please post your smb.conf file. have you set up access to samba in your smb.conf for the use in windows? check /var/log/smb.log (or similar) for more verbose serverside errors.

That sounds like it could be a firewall issue on your Linux machine. As root, execute:

iptables -F

on the Linux machine to flush all the firewall rules, then try to access your Samba server from Windows again.

If that solves the problem, you'll need to disable the firewll if you don't need it or modify it so it allows Samba traffic through.
