the best technique when debugging is to use 
       log file = /var/log/samba/log.smbd.%m
or something similar so that logs are broken out by which machine
connects.
you should probably start at log level 1 or 2 to see obvious errors.
they really do make sense when you see the lower log levels.

777 means that everybody can do everything - are you sure that is what
you want?

are you sure you understand security=domain? You only use that when you
want to authenticate against a real windows server.  I think you still
have to have all the users on the samba machine unless you're using
winbind.  Maybe to just get things going a little you should try using
security=user instead.
Have you read the howto collection?

well even well intentioned bad help is not good help - but i hope i'm
giving you 'helpful' help.
