I'm running Samba on a Fedora machine,

This works OK, but I am not able to browse on the Windows machine.
Am I misunderstanding something about how Samba works?
Do I need to specify this Windows folder on the Linux box?
Or is there some step I am meant to take on the Windows machine,
beyond allowing File and Folder Sharing?
I've done things like that, but find that I need to use some additional
mount options to pass along username and password for the share being
mounted. something like:
mount -t cifs -o user=me,password=mypassword //host/path /mnt/foobar
and possibly uid and gid as well, etc.
see "man mount.cifs" for gory details.
also if you want read-write permission
mount -t cifs -o user=me,password=mypassword,rw //host/path /mnt/foobar
default is rw but this seems not to be the case sometimes. Don't ask me why
