Hmm...

It can be very difficult to get the initial samba configuration right
but when you have it running it very solid. IMHO SWAT is probably the
best tool for setting up samba for someone who dislikes working from the
command line (forget webmin). Have a quick look at man swat.

What is not clear here whether you are using this in your home setup, or
your work setup, and which version of windows is involved (networking
capabilities vary between versions). Microsoft networking can get quite
involved and some of the legacy protocols are no longer actively
supported. If this is a work environment with AD there is likely to be a
bit of work to be performed to allow both machines to communicate.
