Hi-ho, Have you added the users using smbpasswd?
That is a common cause of smb denying access to win clients.. and it's not all that clear in the docco.. smbpasswd -a <username> The other more obvious things, are to check work group name is the same, and that you're using user security, or if you're trying to use the samba box as a domain controller you'll have to wade through the smb-domain server howto's, but for a small network I wouldn't go there, too much pain for no real gain..
