you, hmm, see your samba machine in the network neighbourhood (windows)?
you run 'testparm' and check that it accepts your settings from /etc/samba/smb.conf

here is a good guide for setting samba up: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/samba/

good luck

YOu need to create passwords (along with samba users) on the Linux machine. It's in the samba docs. If your looking to set yourself up as a Public Domain Controller (or hell, even as just a workgroup) this document is excellent:
http://de.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/samba-pdc-faq.html

I've used it.
