I asked about SMB on Centos 6. shimi answered:
samba-swat is installed, fine, but was the service actually started? You have not shown proof of that
If it does,
netstat -pltn
Will tell you about listening ports (in case you got the networking wrong)
As NMAP already indicated, port 901 is not open. It is not listed in the netstat output, either. But why not?
Well, when one solution doesn't work, find another. It turns out that there is an SSHFS solution for Windows to connect and I'm working it now. I'm stuck waiting for the customer to enter his password. Maybe this will all be resolved tomorrow.
Thanks to all.

SSHFS would use passwords from /etc/shadow, while Samba has it's own little database for passwords. While those passwords might be the same, they don't have to be.
If new Windows clients may not want to connecti trough old smb protocol, they may also complain about weak ssh cihpers. Modern SSH clients need additional options to connect to SSH on CentOS 6:
ssh ip.ip.ip.ip -l username -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-helman-group1-sha1 - oCiphers=+3des-cbc
Old hosts are the most fun. (-:
