Do you have a shared folder on both machines? The findsmb result should
look something like this when samba is working:

$ findsmb

                                *=DMB
                                +=LMB
IP ADDR         NETBIOS NAME     WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION

Are both machines using the same workgroup and on the same subnet? Is
samba working on both machines & can you ping them?

$ service smbd status
