OK, so I set up a test VM and set up samba as above and tried to connect 
from a Linux Mint 15 machine running cinnamon and got the same result as 
the OP. On cinnamon the file browser has the ability to connect to a 
server via 'File' --> 'Connect to server', now if I use this and enter 
the samba 3 servers details etc it connects and I can read a test 
document I placed in the /tmp dir on the server. Initially it did not 
connect, but once I changed the 'Domain' setting that cinnamon had 
filled in automatically, from my domain name to 'workgroup'  it did 
connect, could this be the OP's problem?
