Not really a question of your smb.conf file, since that just configures
_your_ Linux box as a Samba server.
You have to first tell your Windows machine to share stuff. Don't ask me
how. It involves right clicking on the My Computer icon, going into
properties for the network stuff, and telling it to share, and what to
share.
After that's done, the Windows box will be advertising its "shares" to
the rest of the network. Then, you can go through the tests in Samba's
DIAGNOSIS.TXT file to check that all is well. Use smbmount or some
program like that to mount shares.
Sorry, I wish I could be more specific on this, but once I set this up
on a network (rarely), I don't revisit it. So it's been a long time....
