Not sure what you mean by "when we go to
the Network"...are you able to ping it? Are
you able to list it's shares with
smbclient?
$ smbclient -L WindozeMachine

You may have to pass a username:
$ smbclient -L WindozeMachine -U
administrator


If you can list the shares, try mounting
one:
$ smbmount
//
WindozeMachine/ShareName
/mnt/point -o username=administrator

Can you ping it?

Can you join the domain?
# smbpasswd -j DOMAIN

Have you edited smb.conf correctly?

Are you able to access the server via FTP,
HTTP or another method?

What is the result of (if you have nmap
installed):
# nmap IP.OF.SERVER
