Samba general question

I've been trying to share my printer that is connected to my linux
computer to my bf's windows xp machine. The two computers are connected
(by wireless) to a linksys router so they're on the same subnet. There
isn't a chance the router could be blocking the connection, is there?
The wireless is running on eth1 and I can ping from one machine to the
other.
I also have vmware running on my linux machine so I can do tests
locally. When I run "net view \\gmc" on my vmware guest I get a list of
shares and can connect to the printer and see the files in the
"testshare" share. If I run the same comand on my bf's computer I get
access denied. It's not firewall related because I'm testing it with no
rules set.
I'm including my smb.conf below.
[global]
workgroup = HOME
interfaces = eth1 vmnet1
bind interfaces only = yes
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
guest account = smbprint
domain master = no
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
[testshare]
comment = test path to tmp
path =/tmp
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
[printers]
comment = Linux printer
path = /home/smbprint
browseable = yes
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
printable = yes
printer admin = root
use client driver = yes
