You don't mention what OS you are running and it would be helpful
to include your smb.conf file to see what settings you have.

You can run smbd -V and it will let you know the version (either 
with an error message for older ones or with a version message for the
newer ones). Where smbd lives depends on your OS and how samba was
installed so you may have to look around.

If you upgrade to version 2.0.7 of samba there is an html copy of the
book Using Samba that you can check for setup information.
