All on the same subnet? You said you could ping all the others; how
about if you use (in Nautilus):
smb://<ipaddressofothercomputer>
can you see it then?

If not, were I you I'd just simply:

$ sudo apt-get purge samba

on all the 9.10's & start over. Properties|Share and elect to 'Share
this folder' and let Nautilus do the work of installing & setting the
folder sharing. Note: you may have to reboot/logout-in to get the
settings to take effect. Before you do that, check to see if samba is
actually running on the machines:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/samba status
 * nmbd is running
 * smbd is running

or

$ service samba status
 * nmbd is running
 * smbd is running

Put all of them on the same workgroup (default is generally mshome).
