'localhost' is a hostname that every TCP/IP machine will have access to. 
It should resolve 'localhost' to 127.0.0.1 - which the windows machine 
will think is itself. You'll need to configure a proper hostname on your 
linux machine, configure a proper machine name in smb.conf, and restart 
samba.
