If the windows box is not showing up on itself and you can ping and ftp
to the linux box, then we know your network is working. I would suggest
that you might have a conflict problem with nic in the windows box
but.... it sounds more to me like you have a misconfiguration with the
sharing options on the windows box. Have you checked your samba logs,
and might you be able to post them here?
