netstat -nlp
This gave me a bunch of readings that I can't post here because its too long but it appears to be working. Mostly its saying "STREAM Listening" I guess its working.
iptables - nL
input, forward, output values are all accepted. I don't have my firewall on anyway so everything should be able to communicate to my laptop.
What command are you using to access the server?
I'm using Konqueror's Network browser to try to see the network. The strange thing is that at work I can see the Windows network on Samba but I can't see the Linux server still. At home I can't see the Windows network at all because they say there's no workgroups found on the network. Which doesn't make sense when all the other computers can talk. The laptop should be able to see the network as well since it can see a Windows network when I'm at work. This leads me to believe that at least something is working right.
What error message go you get when you connect to the server?
When I try accessing the Linux server on my laptop from home, the error I get is that there's no network workgroup found.
When I try accessing the Linux server on my laptop from work, I can see the Windows network and get into the computer up to the point where I see the hard drives of a computer. Upon trying to access a hard drive, it prompts me for a username and pass which I put in the correct username and pass but still can't access the hard drives. This problem occurs for all the computers I see on the network thru Samba. As for the Linux server, at work I still cannot see the server. I can get access via FTP but I'd much rather be file sharing so that it'd be easier for me to transfer files.

I used nfs for a while but it is very insecure. This allows file sharing very easily. I recently setup my own adsl webserver and switched over to ssh via ftp because nfs is so insecure. I use kde and tried KBear which I find really excellent. In a nutshell it gives access to all directories via ssh and is therefore very secure. Because it is gui it is also very easy to see what you are doing. Once KBear is setup for ssh connection, login is transparent.

I don't think I setup NFS but with what you've told me, I don't think it'd do me much good. I don't believe I have KBear because I searched and didn't find it. I'm running KDE too.
Thanks for everyone's help. I hope this information about my problem will help us get to the bottom of this.
