No. I do not see any suspicious logs. But, I think it means that smbd did not receive any request from the client. The log files contains only the log for server's starts and stops.
Also, I just noticed that I gave you wrong information.
I still see the error messages when I run
#net view \\samba command
The error message was "System error 53 has occurred."
"The network path was not found."
MS Tech-net says the error message happned because it could not find the network share resource.

Did you enable netbios over tcp/ip on the windows computer?
Yes, I did right after you told me, but it did not work.
I have found that some people had the same kind of problem. I've been working on this problem for almost one week, and had no luck
The great thing is that there have been some people like you have helped me for many days.
I just used another computer which also has xp and saw the same problem.
I am checking the router's firewall setting on the LAN.
Is there any firewall setting you can recommend for Samba?
