Did you select the Samba server package or the Samba client package as part of your installation?

If no, then you need to install one or the other, depending on your needs. As I recall, a simple desktop installation includes neither.

From a terminal try:
rpm -q samba
and:
rpm -q samba-client
these should tell you if the packages are installed and return your current versions

Did you modify the firewalls on both the linux and windows computers to allow communication?

Try turning off the firewalls on both ends and see if you can establish communications.

i set firewall to disable then i could see all workgroups in network and browse them ("but that not good solution because i have internet connection") except my workgoup i can't come in to my workgrpoup ...so what is the problem
