Well that's what you get for rebooting :^P
I guess at this point I'd try a smbstatus and make sure that Samba is in
fact running and correctly. If it was working and it's not now after a
reboot, you're basically going to have to start your troubleshooting all
over again. *something* changed, or it would be working like it was
before the reboot :)
If nothing changed in your smbd.conf and you're not able to access the
share, I would look at things external to samba. Again the most likely
are things like iptables etc..
IIRC testparm will run even if smbd is not started.
