I like the shutting down the firewall idea. That could be it.
One other idea I have without seeing the smb.conf is to make sure that the IP address of the machine giving you that error is among those allowed in smb.conf. If your smb.conf restricts access to a certain IP range, then if this machine is not in that range it would be denied access in the way you describe.

My WinXP pro box is seeing the Samba server but I get the following
error when try to access the server.
\\Linux is not accessible. Might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator to find out if you have
access permission.s
The network path was not found.
I have done a testparm on the smb.conf and all is OK. I do have a unix,
samba and a windows user/password that are identical. I can do a
smbclient on the xp box and see the shares at that end.
I currently have the following shares setup on Linux box.
Share Name Path Security
homes All Home Directories Read/write to all known users
printers All Printers Printable to everyone
public /home/samba/public Read/write to everyone
Steve /home/steve Read/write to all known users
Being new to Linux let alone Samba I hope I've over looked something
really simple!
Help me please!
