samba - Nov 2001 - help with Win2k and Samba

Hello, I?ve been trying to solve a problem which i?m pretty sure it?s a
"newbie problem"...  I?ve installed Samba 2.0.7 on a Red Hat 7.1
machine, configured a small smb.conf file, updated the Windows registry with the
"plain text passwords", and reviewed the DIAGNOSTICS.TXT about 10
times, every time, steps 1 - 7 work fine but step 8 (net view \\SambaServerName)
fail.

Also, I?ve downloaded WebMin to try to fix the problem with the configurations
with no change in the problem.

I?ve already tried to Enable Password Encryption, Disable it, and still i cannot
view the shares in my Win 2k Box.

Here?s the smb.conf file i?m using:

[global]
 printing = lprng
 dns proxy = no 
 security = user
 encrypt passwords = yes
 ssl ca certfile = /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
 workgroup = GRUPO_TRABAJO
 server string = Samba Server (Viper)
 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
 load printers = yes
 printcap name = /etc/printcap
 wins support = true
 max log size = 0

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   writable = yes

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = no
   guest ok = no
   printable = yes

[prueba]
 path = /home/Administrador
 valid users = Administrador
 comment = Win2k
 public = yes

[pruebame]
 path = /home/Marco/
 writable = yes
 valid users = Marco
 comment = Millenium
 public = yes

Every time I try to view the network neighborhood in W2K i can actually see the
Server, with the comment, but when I try to open it, an error pops up after
quite some time.  "Network path not found" or something like that.

Please, I would really appreciate if someone has a solution to this problem, i?m
sure i?ve overlooked something very easy.  Thanx in advance.

You didn't mention firewall.
Open ports 137,138, and 139 on the RH 7.1 server.

you probably have ipchains blocking tcp ports 137-139
