Hit the same problem just the other day.  Installed a new 250GB
harddrive and setup a partition to be used as a shared area.  Could see
the server via a windows network neighborhood but could not connect. 
Finally realized it was the firewall settings on the FC2 box.

I reconfigured iptables to let 137, 138, 139, and 443 (I think the last
port is correct) through the firewall so the lan manager services could
get through.  

One question I have not found an answer for is if both udp and tcp ports
on all of these need to be let through.  Anyone know for sure?

I think smb should be added to the default list of options to permit
access through iptables like ftp, ssh, smtp, and http.
