The Windows machine must be on same workgroup. To check the value in windows machine run the command at cmd prompt
net config workstation
Your windows machine must be at same Workstation domain as in ubuntu server. To make the windows machine reachable in windows proceed like this. In the run terminal & add the entry of your server IP address
notepad C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
To configure samba edit the file /etc/samba/smb.cnf before making changes I will make the backup of original file as /etc/samba/smb.cnf.bak
mv /etc/samba/smb.cnf /etc/samba/smb.cnf.bak
Further give the entries like this
vi /etc/samba/smb.cnf
For further details I need more information about the problem.
