Please try opening nautilus and navigating to smb://localhost (Control+L to 
bring up the location bar) on the machine that's hosting this share and seeing 
if the share is listed there. Also, please attach your /etc/samba/smb.conf file 
and the output of "net usershare info"

Sometimes it may take some time for shares to appear on a remote computer -- 
even Windows, where the smb protocol was originally used, can't detect shares 
from other computers sometimes.
