Not really. This is what I think you have and are trying to do:
You have a bunch of Windows desktops.
You have 1 Samba server.
You have 1 Linux desktop.
You want the Windows desktops to access files on the Linux desktop.
In this case, the existing Samba server isn't part of the equation. If
you want the Windows desktops to access files on the Linux desktop, the
Linux desktop also needs to become a server. Just because it has Linux
on it doesn't automatically one, and just because you also have a Samba
server somewhere else on the network doesn't help.
You need to install and configure the Samba server server on your Linux
desktop. You also need to ensure that you have allowed the Samba
protocols through your firewalls, *including* the host-based firewall
that you may have installed at initial install time.
In the future, you need to clarify what "see" means. Do you want to FTP
files, ping the host, browse a mapped share, or what? They're all
different.
