Try out webmin (webmin.com). I've had much better luck getting things to work using it to configure samba.
I first tried just going to samba.org and reading documentation, then manually editing smb.conf. No luck.
After using webmin, i've gotten my internal linux server to share files, and I've even set up a linux box at my kid's school as a PDC which automatically maps an H:(home) drive and S:(share) drive on win98 machines.
One thing to consider when using it is authentication. Share level acces vs. user level access might fix problems for you if your just using it internally.
