Back It's pretty early where i'm at so ignore typos.
I seem to recall Samba uses only eight characters for a password (default) Maybe your password is too long
Try setting the smb.conf file, or (in x) to be a share only (no passwords) to see if the connection works without the security.
If yes, then try a shorter password
Are you able to access the server from other workstations?
Try shutting down selinux for the smb service. Be sure to set your lan in selinux as a trusted device.
Keep trying
