You have a problem with your Windows network config - I don't think it has 
anything to do with your Samba config.  In Network Neighborhood - your own 
box should show up if nothing else...  In my experience Samba was easy - 
getting Windows working right was the chore...

I found this document in the Samba guide extremely helpful in 
troubleshooting my W98/Samba network setup...

It starts at the simple stuff and works into more complex areas. Just go 
through it slowly and make sure each step works as noted before proceeding...

Also - you might want to chop down your smb.conf file - use the KISS system 
- 'Keep It Simple Stupid' :)   Use as few options as you need - you can 
always add more later...

Good luck!
