That's the important part :-)

Depending on which application you are using to browse the network, you
may have to right click and choose "scan group as" and enter the
user/password of a user set up on your windows box.  I have found the
easiest way is to use LinNeighborhood to mount the shares and browse
them that way.

In LinNeighborhood right click on the workgroup of your windows box and
choose "scan group as user."  Hope that helps.  I used to use komba as
well and had to do basically the same thing.  You may need to check your
user/password permissions and make sure they match between boxen.
