Thought of adding wins to name resolve order? In mine, I have this:
[root at enigma ~]# grep wins /etc/samba/smb.conf
name resolve order = wins hosts bcast
wins support = Yes
Docs say it should be on anyway but for some reason it defaults to "no".
lmhosts is the client side ( 'doze ) hosts file. The Windows
equivalent of /etc/hosts. Consequently adding it to my resolve order
shouldn't cause trouble.

Comment this out for a test?

Tried changing this for a test? There might be some kind of confusion
between the user name and the netbios name. Probably not but it's just a
thought.

Hmmm... I don't have a workgroup on my machine. I wonder how it relates
to netbios name? The man pages are not very specific about it.

Here is what I've got for this:
[root at enigma ~]# grep charset /etc/samba/smb.conf
unix charset = LOCALE
[root at enigma ~]#
I don't think you need both public = no and valid users which I've
noticed in some of your shares.

Check your 'doze clients network connections for a "Client for Microsoft
Networks". Some other client side stuff to check:
Network Connection | Click Properties | Select Internet Protocol (
TCP/IP ) | Click Properties | Click Advanced | Select Wins tab
"Wins servers in order of use" should list your Samba box's IP address.
Of course this probably only matters if your Samba box has "wins
support = Yes".
