First thing I would do is change security to "user" and make sure you have 
a smb user created that matches the user/pass of your account on your 
laptop. Add anoter variable to the global section "valid users = (your 
username)" and add it again under your share. I had that problem at first 
too, I fixed it by changing security to user and then ran into the browse 
problem which I finally figured out yesterday. Let me know what happens 
after those suggestions. Here is part of my smb.conf file:
