You probably need to create the user for Samba too, via smbpasswd.
As I said, please send your /etc/samba/smb.conf if you want more help.
As Dave was suggesting, you need to modify smb.conf. There are a few
GUIs that do that for you (http://us4.samba.org/samba/GUI/). Its
easier to edit the file for small purposes like this, if you know what
you want. Edit you /etc/samba/smb.conf to look like this: (this is
mine; remember to undo the linebreaks that are caused by this mail
text.)

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully*

# 192.168.a.b is the IP of my XP machine, replace a, b accordingly
hosts allow = localhost, 192.168.a.b

create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
browseable = Yes
writable = Yes
This should work with the defualt "Jan" passwd, otherwise, use
smbpasswd Jan
at the comand line and provide a password (need not be the one you are
using for usual login, but helps to keep it same).
I generally map a network drive to the HOME directory of the samba
server (Debian box).
