Ah, it might be to do with workgroup configuration. Try removing samba with
'apt-get remove --purge samba samba-common' and adding the following to your
home directory:

  ~/.smb/smb.conf
  WORKGROUP = <workgroup>

(You could also just copy your smb.conf file from /etc/samba before you
purge it, too.)
