Naming is what you'd choose. It dependes on you, but make sure windows and your samba conf file have same workgroup (however this is not a requirement to be able to communicate & share files sucessfully ).
However, as a suggestion, look at the name of your windows workgroup and put that name into the samba configuration file.
Make sure both windows and the Linux machine are on the same subnet (LAN) and are pingable from each other when you set their ip addresses.
Thats it. You'r done.
