samba - Mar 2003 - Can see Linux box, but no shares from windows

Can anyone provide me a few suggestions?

I installed Redhat 8.0 on my laptop. XP Pro on my windows box.
I am using Samba/SWAT at the moment as well. 

I have the basic smb.conf that I took from the example folder and made no
changes except opening the public share. (unfortunately I am at work so I
cant show exactly what I have). I also added the workgroup =  line under
[global] and added my windows workgroup.

I am currently having two problems. 
The first is that I can SEE the linux box from windows. Its listed, its
there.
I try to explore it, but I cannot. There is no share. Windows gives me the
curious error that a duplicate name exists on the network and I should
rename it. 

On the linux side, when I try to do a smbclient -L myhostname I am now
getting what I beleive said NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILED... It had worked properly
before. I am not sure what I could of changed to cause this. 

All I am looking to do it set up a very basic share at this point. 
Can anyone suggest to me a very basic smb.conf so I can compare with mine?
Or even provide me any tips? I think I am going to start from scratch with
it and try again. I have hit this problem twice now though so I am concerned
what the issue is. There is no firewall. Encrypted passwords is on...   

I can provide more information when I get home if I am missing something(I
am sure I am)

Thank you for any assistance.

exactly my problem.
I did use  smbadduser BJS:BJS   to correspond with the account on both the
linux and windows box.. It seemed to go thru fine but I am a little sketchy
on the user part in general.

I have the same problem with w2k.
My smb.conf is:

[global]
	netbios name = server
	server string = Test 18
	default = global
	workgroup = workgroup
	os level = 20
	encrypt passwords = yes
	wins support = true

[temp]
	comment = Temp directory
	public = yes
	path = /temp

You should also remember to add samba users with smbadduser. 
This way it works from the linux side for me. But w2k refuses to explore.

I did actually... The first time I tried to set this all up
I got to the same roadblock...

So I nuked my laptop (planned anyway to clean up the partitions and all)
reinstalled redhat, and tried SWAT...

Same roadblock both times.

I think this time I am a little closer that the last. Ive gotten a few good
suggestions to try.

I can ping the server... by ip and even by hostname...
in linux, using jags i can mount the dirs i shared... so i wonder if the 
permissions are a problem... 
i set the username and the password to my w2k user and pwd, so that shouldnt 
be a problem either...

somehow i think it's more a w2k problem than a linux problem... somehow, i 
think, w2k cant resolve the samba hostname into an ip, i guess, or something 
like that..
