Thanks for including your whole smb.conf and IP address configuration - that
helped! I notice that your global hosts allow statement (and several others)
only allows for a subnet of 192.168.0, but the IP addresses you list below is in
a different subnet. Basically, you are telling Samba "reject everything
from the 192.168.77 subnet".
