Thought of adding wins to name resolve order?  In mine, I have this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# grep wins /etc/samba/smb.conf
name resolve order = wins hosts bcast
wins support = Yes

Docs say it should be on anyway but for some reason it defaults to "no".
  lmhosts is the client side ( 'doze ) hosts file.  The Windows
equivalent of /etc/hosts. Consequently adding it to my resolve order
shouldn't cause trouble.

Comment this out for a test?

Tried changing this for a test?  There might be some kind of confusion
between the user name and the netbios name. Probably not but it's just a
thought.

Hmmm... I don't have a workgroup on my machine.  I wonder how it relates
to netbios name?  The man pages are not very specific about it.

Here is what I've got for this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# grep charset /etc/samba/smb.conf
unix charset = LOCALE
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#

I don't think you need both public = no and valid users which I've
noticed in some of your shares.

Check your 'doze clients network connections for a "Client for Microsoft
Networks". Some other client side stuff to check:

Network Connection | Click Properties | Select Internet Protocol (
TCP/IP ) | Click Properties | Click Advanced | Select Wins tab

"Wins servers in order of use" should list your Samba box's IP address.
   Of course this probably only matters if your Samba box has "wins
support = Yes".
