smb.conf (a little help please)

i have been trying to get this working for hours. i have finally gotten the file to allow me to get to the samba server from a windows machine, however, the thing won't let me write. Can i get some help please? i've tried the howto's and i think my brain is shutting down. i've tried trimming down the useless entries to what i have changed.

#======================= Global Settings =====================================
[global]

# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: MIDEARTH
workgroup = RHODES

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Samba Server

# Security mode. Defines in which mode Samba will operate. Possible
# values are share, user, server, domain and ads. Most people will want
# user level security. See the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for details.
; security = user
security = user

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
hosts allow = 192.168.100.103 192.168.100.102 192.168.100.101 192.168.100.100

# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects

# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
max log size = 50

# Backend to store user information in. New installations should
# use either tdbsam or ldapsam. smbpasswd is available for backwards
# compatibility. tdbsam requires no further configuration.

# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
# via DNS nslookups. The default is NO.

# machine to add or delete corresponding unix accounts
