Forgive me if you already know this, but you didn't include much 
information.

The one thing I always read about when trying to set up Samba is that 
there isn't really an easy way to get it working. There are two work 
arounds I've read about, and neither I could do, so I never got it 
working. The first work around is to disable iptables. There is some 
kind of issue with iptables blocking packets or connections or 
something, so the only way to get all the packets and/or connections 
through is to disable iptables. This is something I was not willing to 
do. The second way around is to set up a WINS server so samba and talk 
through it to the other computers. I've had no experiance what-so-ever 
with an WINS server, so I can't help you there.
