[Samba] A little help w/ Debian Samba and XP clients

  Hi list.  I'm a Marine based near San Diego CA and I'm trying to setup 
a Libranet/Debian box as a file and printserver.  The main goal is 
printing right now.  I have good connectivity (ping and resolve by 
NETBIOS name).  I have enabled File and Print Sharing on my Windows 
clients as well as making the appropriate entries in my hosts file. 
 NETBIOS is aslo enabled as well as using the IP address of the Samba 
box for WINS.  I have added all users and computer NETBIOS names using 
useradd and then smbpasswd -a on the Samba box.  When I run net view on 
a Windows box I get " System error 86 has occured.  The specified 
network password is not correct."  I have checked carefully and modified 
where necessary and I'm sure the logon name and password I'm using for 
Windows is on my Samba box.  I've got 3 Linux books out in front of me 
and I'm obviously missing something.  I was using SWAT but now I'm just 
using good ol vi.  I would really appreciate any help the list might 
offer.  Here is my smb.conf
