uncomment "encrypt passwords" and "smb passwd file". This is almost
certainly the root of your problem. I also suspect that you have not yet
created samba users by running smbpasswd.

might want to uncomment the above as well. Though it is not necessary to
get things working.

This is a handy option for mapping windows usernames to unix accounts.

uncomment and set to yes to let Samba become the master browser (this
means that it will be hold the list of windows boxen connected to your
network)

I am not sure what this ^^^ stuff is, but I would comment it out.

make those changes and restart samba.
