Hmm... Looks OK just like mine...
Here is my /etc/samba/smb.conf file for you to compare.
I know you said you have no firewall installed, but are you running one on
your Windows computer? With Zone Alarm for example you have to put the Linux
computer in the 'trusted' zone before you can network to it. Try 'pinging'
from each computer to the other.
