2 questions: 1) What windows machine are you using? Is it Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP? If it's Windows 95 then you need to turn encrypted passwords off in your smb.conf.
2) When it asks for a username and password you need to enter a valid username and password for the RH system, not for the windows system.
