Are you expecting it to appear in the "My Network Places" list? Windows
has an eccentric, unpredictable "schedule" for adding items there.
Go to Start, Run, and enter
\\name-of-server\share
then hit OK. Of course, you should substitute the actual name of the
server. If it opens a window (with whatever is in /srv/samba visible in
it), you're good.
If that doesn't work, try
\\name-of-server
and let us know what you see.
