Try running 'smbclient -L localhost'

This has helped me in the past. It seems to initialize the databases that 
smbstatus looks at.

>From win2k does 'net view \\linux' show you anything? That should list the 
available shares. If not, then it would seem that name resolution is the 
problem. Try 'net view ip.of.linux' If samba is happy, that should show you 
the shares.

Also, make sure that the RH8 does not have the firewalling enabled. As root 
'service iptables stop' should turn it off. Then try the access from the 
w2k box. If that works, then you will need to create firewall rules for 
samba traffic. Much has been posted about that in the past.
