You didn't say if you we're doing this in an NT domain or not, if 
you're not I can't be much help here, if you are using an NT domain 
then read on...

Are you running the NT box as a domain controller? If so, you'll 
need to create an smbpasswd file and use encrypted passwords.
Check out the docs on how to do this -- Passwords.txt and 
ENCRYPTION.txt.

If you're just trying to look at \\Linux in Network Neighborhood, and 
it's not letting you in... I had the same problem when I first set up a 
Samba server in an NT domain. You have to enter the NT box as 
the password server in smb.conf.

Look at DOMAIN.txt and DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt in the Samba 
docs.

Are you trying to map a network drive to \\Linux ? You can't do 
that. You have to create a share to map to (i.e. \\Linux\MyNetDrive).

If you have an account on the linux box, then just uncomment the 
[homes] share in smb.conf and map to:

\\Linux\YourHomeDir
