Do you have the firewall installed and working? I had to disable mine to
get samba shares to be seen across my network.

Firewall on, firewall off, same problem. Firewall doesn't prevent
smbclient to access the other machine's information with
"smbclient -L machinename" that's followed by a password
query which when answered is followed by a listing of shares
etc. From that 1) I conclude that samba is working; 2) since
nautilus simply says
"The folder contents could not be displayed"
when clicking on the machine name of the windows box without
asking for a password it seems to be a nautilus configuration
problem.
