Samba config for Windows in VMWare access to CentOS Linux box

I have tried to configure my CentOS4.4 Plus desktop for samba sharing with the VMWare Windows that runs on it.  However, no matter what I’ve done so far, I can’t get the Windows to recognize this machine as a legitimate network destination.

Here’s my samba config file:

\[root@mhullrichter shared]# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf

\# Global parameters

\[global]

        server string = Samba Server

        security = SHARE

        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

        max log size = 50

        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

        printcap name = /etc/printcap

        dns proxy = No

        idmap uid = 16777216-33554431

        idmap gid = 16777216-33554431

        cups options = raw

\[homes]

        comment = Home Directories

        read only = No

        browseable = No

\[public]

        comment = Data

        path = /home/mark

        force user = mark

        force group = users

        read only = No

        guest ok = Yes

\[printers]

        comment = All Printers

        path = /var/spool/samba

        printable = Yes

        browseable = No

It passes testparm, the smb daemons are up and running:

\[root@mhullrichter shared]# psg smbd

root      2751     1  0 11:44 ?        00:00:00 smbd -D

root      2752  2751  0 11:44 ?        00:00:00 smbd –D

I noticed that neither the nmbd nor winbindd daemons are running – dunno why, the startup showed \[ OK ].

But in the Windows, it can see my machine but can’t connect to it – what am I missing?

Thanks.
