If you can access the machine by IP address but not by the name perhaps
you have a name resolution error?
How does the name resolution in your network works? Unix old style
(/etc/hosts)? Windows old style (smb host list)? DNS?
Or something else?

I have looked up one of my stand alone SAMBA configurations. There I have

name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast

Perhaps tweaking this for your network setup can help.

You can also try smbclient - an ftp like command line tool for SMB/CIFS
servers.
Try
smbclient //$SERVER_NAME/$SHARE
with the IP address or name should work. If not look at the error message.
