Problem in File/Dir sharing between a windows and solaris

Hi ,

We are trying to share a particular directory between solaris [running from VMware installed on Win7 box] and windows box. We tried the SWAT utility of samba, and made all possible changes for sharing. We committed the changes and we were clueless what need to be done further.. referred many documents. Tried to access the share folder from windows by

//1*.**.***.** (ip of the solaris box), but we are not able to see any files / directory being shared. No clues on icons in GUI side of Solaris also. Kindly suggest some GUI/CLI method of file sharing.

FYI, we are able to ping the win server from solaris and vice varsa. (both being in the same sub net)
