Just to make sure, do you have Network file systems enabled on your kernel?

Is SAMBA services installed. If it is uninstall it and re-install it. The files could be corrupted during installation.

Are you able to use smbclient to access your Windows system.

Did you check the logs. What did it say.

If you download iso images. Did you check all iso images before making CDs.
