dialin access to shares

Do you mean "see its shares" in windoze exploder?

Samba only binds to the first ethernet interface (eth0 under linux) 
by default; did you add the ppp interface to the smb.conf file?

What happens when you try a find computer from the client side?  
Can it find the samba box by either name or IP address?  Did you 
try the Net View/Use commands from a DOS prompt?  Can you mount a 
share that way?
