Dupre - try informing yourself as max pointed out.
This samba stuff is not a 5min deal if you don't have enough information.

On the linux machine the firewall could be a probable problem, you may need
to play with the iptables command and check/open access to your samba
client. I'm not sure how much security is important to you.

As other have said, exercise your Google-ing skills.
