[Samba] Cant connect to samba server

[Adam Williams]

did you restart samba after making the changes to smb.conf?  Also, try 
telnetting to the samba tcp/ip ports.  so telnet samba_server_ip 135 
(and 137, 139, 445) see if you can connect to any or go to 
www.insecure.org/nmap and run the nmap scanner against the TCP ports of 
the samba server ip and see what it reports to you (do all of this from 
one of the windows pc's unable to connect to the samba server)
