Well, workgroup is set to WORKGROUP.  You might want to change that to
whatever workgroup/domain your windows machines are using.  Also, try
setting a netbios name such as 'netbios name = myWinMachineName'.  If
you have an NT server on your local net, you might want to 'wins server
= 129.82.ntmachine.ip'  For security reasons, you might also want to add
the following line:  'hosts allow = 129.82. 127.'  This would limit
connections to IP that start with those octets (csu and loopback).  The
trailing . are important.

The easiest way to do stuff is to use SWAT, the Samba Web Administration
Tool which is installed with samba as a web server on port 901.  Go to
http://samba.server.ip.addr:901 and log in as root.  You can then modify
smb.conf using a nice gui interface.

Here's my smb.conf if you want to take a look:
