Robert, I agree with Miguel, as basic networking is fairly straightforward.
Are your workstations using DHCP with the router acting as the DHCP server? If so, does the router have an option for declaring a WINS server, and have you done so? If the router doesn't have that option, have you manually enabled netbios over tcp/ip and declared the WINS server on the clients? If you're using static ip's, then you'll also have to manually configure the workstations for WINS to work.
Run ps -ef | grep mbd. You should see both smbd and nmbd if Samba is fully active.

My first Linux domain controller was working on production after a couple of weeks of study, starting from about zero knowledge of Samba.Conclusion: There is no way for an individual user, even one with decades of computer experience, to set up a Linux LAN.Reading your post, it seems to me that your problem lies with some misconfiguration on that router you are using between the Linux machine and the Windows machines.
