are they on the same subnet?
it almost sounds like firewall rules are in the way.
Always check first from localhost and then from another machine...
from localhost...
smbclient -L localhost
smbclient -L NETBIOSNAME # which is the hostname unless you set
something
# different in smb.conf
then from another computer...
smbclient -L IP_ADDRESS_OF_SYSTEM
smbclient -L NETBIOSNAME
if localhost & IP_ADDRESS_OF_SYSTEM work but NETBIOSNAME doesn't work,
you've got a problem with name resolution.
