can you connect by manually typing in the Explorer address bar \\server or \\ip ?
Yes, that works. I can immediately see and browse all my /home shares. But the "Network" application in Windows Vista doesn't see my linux box.

Try the command (as root) rcnmb restart This has cleared up problems for me in the past. This may be because of which computer is demanding to be the browse master.
