Open up the terminal and type: sudo gedit /etc/hosts.allow
Type in your password.
Then add this line to the file:

ALL:192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0

Save the file. Now try logging into your samba workgroup.

Note: The line mentioned above says "ALL" to make it easier for you in
future. But actually, you can replece "ALL" with a list of services, each on
a separate line. These services can be sshd, samba, cups etc. You will have
to read up the actual documentation on the /etc/hosts.allow file for more
deatails.
