Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Rep:
try deleating the line where it says
allow hosts = 192.168.1. 127.
or change the ip from 192.168.1. to the one your network uses
also has you network got any domain controllers or windows servers running? if it has change the following lines
domain master = yes
change where it says yes to no, and your os level from 165 to some thing like 45
os level = 165
once you have done that save your smb.conf and then restart samba bey typing
"smbd stop"
and then
"smbd start"
into your console
and then try it. also if it still doesnt work make sure your network is working and iptables isnt blocking you samba port
to check if your network is working go to you console and type
"ping -c 4 HOSTNAMEorIP"
replace where it says HOSTNAMEorIP with the hostname or ip address whith the hosname or ip address of another computer on your network
if you get a reply with 0% packet loss your network is working if not either IPtables is stoping network access or you network card isnt configured and activated yet
