If your'e using '95 or '98 on the client side type NET CONFIG at the dos
prompt and check that the username is the same as the one samba expects

'98 lets you use something like \\user%machine\share (I can't remember the
exact syntax, and i've fairly sure that example is wrong) in the 'Map network
drive' dialog box. 95 only lets you use the username you loged in as
(which really, really sucks).
