Sometimes, the trouble is in smb.conf with encrypted passwords. It's commented out by default and has to be uncommented. (or you can hack the registry on each MS box). I have a beginner's page on samba, which although Linux oriented, might be of use at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/samba.html Also, you'll find in /usr/local/share/doc/samba/textdocs something called DIAGNOSIS which might be helpful, it's a good troubleshooting guide.
