This is common problem, ref to list archives. And mean while check this.

1)The Workgroup should be  same.
2)Subnet mask on ur wnidose and linux host are same. In windose check from
networkneighbourhood-> peoperties-> TCPIP -> properties. And in Linux
control-panel->netcfg->interface->edit
3)Check for valid guest account exist in ur system. 
4)Check if you have read permision to guest to dir <samba_dir>/var/lock/*

With these things setup correctly, ur linux should be visible in windows
NN. 

Ok if still not you can still connect to linux from windose by using
find computes and look for linux.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.  Therefore all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.
