You probably did this one, but one frequent problem is that folks forget to add the Windows user name (with Windows password) to the smbpasswd file. smbpasswd -a <username> If you haven't done it yet, then you get an error message the first time that can be safely ignored, something about the file being non-existent--however it's created after adding the first user. The other one (that probably isn't the issue, as you can browse the public shares) is uncommented the encrypted password in smb.conf.
