What kind of errors are you getting when you try to connect?
You could turn off your connection to the outside world and drop your
firewall and see if you could connect. Or run 'tail -f /var/log/messages'
and watch the messages that appear when you try to connect. If your
firewall is blocking the packets you should see them.
You might also want to check out the logs in '/var/log/samba/'.
One other thing I have found is when i have trouble connecting with
permission denied errors is '/etc/init.d/smb restart' which restarts smbd
and nmbd on my machine. nmbd is really what needs to be restarted to
repopulate the WINS database. I usually have to do this if I have to
reboot a one of the Windows machines.
