Samba access problem

[AstroDroid]

I have setup a samba server, but cannot access it from a winbox. from my localhost I can smbclient -L hostname then I receive a password box enter my pwd and I see the shares.

The winboxes see the samba server, but cannot access it. When I run an nmblookup <hostname> I am unable to find the name of my host. I can browse through nautilus on the local machine to the samba server and I receive a pwd box, enter my pwd and I am on my way.

FYI I have added the guest user using smbpasswd -a <guestuser>

The share I am running is on a vfat partition that I mount at boot time and all users have rwx access to it.

Here is my smb.conf file, in case you need it.
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2002/12/12 20:12:28

Have you added a samba-user with the username + password identical to the windows user?

You can do this with the same command:
smbpasswd -a username

Sorry it took so long, yes I have ran smbpasswd - a username
