samba - Sep 2003 - Cannot access Samba share

Samba server on Linux 9.0, Win2K Pro client

Can ping the Linux box by its IP address and name, can see the linux machine
name on Network Places, 
But when I double-click on the machine name, after few seconds comes up with
the error message: "Network Path not found".
Any ideas?

Do you have the Redhat's default firewall running? If so it is blocking
ports 137-139 which Samba needs to communicate with other pc's on the
network.
