What book do you have? O'Reilly has their "Using Samba" book online. If
you care to check that out the URL is

With all file sharing using Samba (the SMB protocol) you have a "server"
and a "client". This is true for Linux-Linux, Linux-Windows, and
Windows-Windows sharing. The only major differences are how you mount
(Linux) or map (Windows) the Samba share, and how you declare a particular
filesystem or mount point for sharing.

I read your attached smb.conf and here are some points that you may want
to think about and revise:
1. "hosts allow" - this is commented out in your smb.conf, I advise you
uncomment it to activate it and set its contents to the network you are
using or to the particular IP addresses you would like to give access to.
For example, if all the workstations in your LAN have IP addresses in the
private 192.168.0.x network, then put "hosts allow = 192.168.0.".
2. I recommend you enable password encryption via "encrypt passwords =
yes".
3. You do not have a valid header for your share, making it go under
[printers]. If you'll look, all section headers below [printers] and above
your inserted settings are commented out with semicolons. Also, the "valid
users" parameter does NOT have any contents. Fix that. You can also remove
it, that should make all users except those in the "invalid users"
parameter valid.
