In both cases, it looks like an authentication problem.  SELinux or any 
firewall in the system could be the problem, but I'm betting on samba 
authentication.

First of all, make sure that you have added yourself and your password to 
smbpasswd.  Then, one or two comments about samba.conf

I don't see any workgroup= line, but since you say you can see the shares, 
that's probably not the cause of the current problems.  The username map= 
should be deleted unless you need to map names and passwords that don't match 
the ones on your samba server.  You probably don't need the wins support line 
either.  If in doubt, comment them out so that they are easily added back.

Null passwords is not a good idea.  Use security = user in the global section, 
which will prompt for user passwords.  Then add a line as below for the 
public directory.

        public = yes
