It looks as though your windows users don't have accounts on your box?  They 
need a user account, with password and username exactly matching their 
windows logon, and a samba user account, again with an exact match in 
username and password.

I presume they also have MDKGROUP as their workgroup, remembering case 
sensitivity?
