The one thing that might matter and make a significant difference is that,
at least at one time, Samba was incapable of using a blank password.  You
may need to provide a password for the Windows user, then specify that
in "System Settings", "Sharing", "Local Network Browsing".  I mentioned
this in a thread a month or two back, and nobody contradicted me, so I
expect it's still true :-)
