Did you do any basic network trouble shooting like ping the samba server from the windows host by servername and the ip addy? Start there. You should also need to disable windows simple file sharing in the Tools Menu. Have a look at wiki.centos.org there is great how to there about how to do all this. You will also need to define samba or unix users on your samba server.
If you haven't done samba troubleshooting before google for it. There is a very good guide out there - the copy I have is *way* out of date so I won't offer it.
