Samba uses tcp and udp, you have to allow udp on ports 137 and 138. Turn off your firewall and try again. It's frustrated me a couple times when I've first set it up. Either that, or add `guest ok = Yes` lines to the shares. If you have a second non-windows computer available, I'd try with that. Windows makes some assumptions about what to remember, and sort of assumes the server's working properly from the beginning. Using another computer will make testing faster.
