Hi,
The first thing I would like to tell u is why do u need to reboot the Linux
machine after changing the password? I don't think its necessarry...!!!
Second thing try to log off & log in again to Windows machine & then try it...!!!
Also check whether ur nmbd service is running properly or not...!!!
Regards,
Pranay
