SAMBA Question, Linux box can't see Windows Shared folders

I have an XP VM (VMware Server 2 on CentOS5.2) on a network of Fedora and
CentOS5 machines. The Linux boxes export SAMBA shares which the XP VM
sees just fine. The XP VM also sees it's shared folders. The Linux boxes
(both CentOS5.2 and Fedora 9) can see the SAMBA exports from each other
and they can see the XP machine but they can't see anything of the shared
folders on the XP machine (I'm looking at the network for Nautilus).

What do I need to do on either the Linux side or the Windows side so that
Linux can see the XP Shares?


Here is my smb.conf file,

#======================= Global Settings
=====================================

[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
cups options = raw
netbios name = Nimitz
server string = Nimitz Samba
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
workgroup = workgroup
os level = 20
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
encrypt passwords = yes
winbind trusted domains only = yes
security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
max log size = 50

If it's a VM, then the VM server needs to open the relevant ports for SAMBA.

See the VMWare documentation.
