Recent versions of Windows refuse to authenticate using plain-text passwords. Try using password encryption. You should use security = user, and set up accounts on the Linux box with smbadduser (smbpasswd to set the passwords). E.g.:
#smbadduser noyes:noyes Adding: noyes to /etc/samba/smbpasswd Added user noyes.
In order to simulate share level access, I usually create a fake user (smbuser) and use "force user = smbuser" on the share so that all you need to enter is the password. Then the password is set by doing "smbpasswd smbuser" or whatever.
