I don't really understand what you're trying to do (I'm a newb myself) but over here I've got samba running both ways. Samba is my Primary Domain Controller which allows logons etc, samba has some shares that other machines can access and on the other hand I use smbmount and automount to mount shares on my linux machine from an XP machine. So it's all possible
From what you have in your first post you said couldn't connect to 127.0.0.1:901 ?
Is the problem you are having with setting up samba shares and such or just getting SWAT the webbrowser config tool for samba working? I would type this in at the prompt as the root user
ntsysv --level 345
Then make sure that both smb and swat are checked then tab over to ok, reboot and watch the messages you will see it load smb and swat and there will be an ok or failed, if you get okey's then you can try to connect to 127.0.0.1:901
