OK. Update.
It appears that installing "Samba" from the Ubuntu Software Centre 
doesn't actually install Samba - it installs something else!
I've now installed Samba4 from Synaptic and running "sudo netstat -auntp 
| grep samba" on both machines gives me something like this:

On the laptop:
gordon at gordon-laptop:~$ sudo netstat -auntp | grep samba
[sudo] password for gordon:

I still get the same error when trying to access the Netbook from the 
Laptop....
