Believe me, I have tried everytbing I can think of to solve this

I will work my tail off to resolve this but I am fresh out of ideas.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Here are the details...
problem: server can see machines/shares on clients but clients cannot
see machines/shares on server
Firstly a quick sumary of your configuration below. Then some pointers.
1. Your samba server:
a) Is acting as a stand-alone MS Windows file and print server.
If you want it to act as a domain controller then you must add
to smb.conf [globals]:
domain logons = Yes
If you want domain logon support for MS Windows NT4 clients then
you also must have an [netlogon] share.
b) Is acting as a WINS server.
Are all clients configured so that in their TCP/IP configuration
all have the IP address of your Samba server as the WINS server
addresses?
If you leave the WINS entries on your MS Windows clients blank
then Win2K will use broadcast name resolution, not WINS. Why then
enable samba to be a WINS server?
c) You have not indicated clearly, but I conclude from the info you have
provided that you did add your MS Windows users to /etc/passwd _AND_ to
the smbpasswd file. If you did not add them to the smbpasswd file then do
so using:
smbpasswd -a 'user_name'
2. You MS Windows clients
a) Why have you installed the NetBEUI protocol? Samba does NOT use it.
b) When you install more than one protocol under MS Windows NT4/Win2K you
may experience network connectivity problems UNLESS you also configure the
LANA settings. LANA means Local Area Network Adaptor. It is configurable
under the Network Services, NetBIOS interface. One every client the LANA
settings should be identical. This way client/server location on all
networks (Yes, NetBIOS treats each protocol (TCP/IP, IPX, NetBEUI) as
another network!) will work the same way.
I hope this info helps.
