According to RedHat Linux bible, Fedora and Entreprise edition, page 
713, I shoule be able to run smbclient -L localhost either as root or 
user that has access to samba. Also when I use to be able to acces my 
linux box via the laptop, the linux directoreis would be mapped then I 
was asked to provide passords. After I provided passwords, then I was 
told if whether or not I had the rights to acces the folders. So I don't 
see how the file permissions have anything to do at this time.

In any case, I again made the above suggested changes. No succes 
whatsoever. Here is what smbclient -L localhost gives now :

Domain=[P2] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.2-7.FC1]

LOCALDOMAIN LAPTOP


There are no server listed and the Domain has been changes for P2, while 
it used to be localdomain. P2 is the name of the linux box.
