Using webmail now, so that's a bit difficult, but:
1)Are you using an username on windows that also exists on linux?
2a)If so, when you browse the samba box, do you see your home directory (ie a share
with your username)?
2b)If not, try putting "guest ok = yes" in the global section of smb.conf, and doing
"service smb reload".
