So you know of a minimal smb.conf file that I could start rebuilding
from?

The default that comes with Ubuntu is well-commented and will work (or
close to it) out of the box with minimal effort. Otherwise, post yours -
just the global section with comments trimmed and the section relating
to the share you want for the windows user.

Regards, K.

OK, I am now able to access the share from the linux box, but not from the
windows box.

Here's the uncommented portions of smb.conf.

[global]
workgroup = kappa_net
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
dns proxy = no

#### Debugging/Accounting ####
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
syslog = 0
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d

####### Authentication #######
security = user

obey pam restrictions = yes
; guest account = nobody
invalid users = root

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n
*password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .

pam password change = yes
map to guest = Bad User

########## Domains ###########

socket options = TCP_NODELAY
# Allow users who've been granted usershare privileges to create
# public shares, not just authenticated ones
usershare allow guests = yes
restrict anonymous = no
domain master = no

max protocol = NT

server signing = Auto

#======================= Share Definitions =======================

create mask = 0700

# Windows clients look for this share name as a source of downloadable
# printer drivers
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
