lead you to information?

man smb.conf

http://www.samba.org

isn't much difference between domain & workgroup except that you will
want to use security = user or share, Workgroup = YourWindowsWorkgroup
os level less than 33. If you are not all on the same subnet, you will
have to add the bios names to lmhosts and add that to smb.conf as well
(of course in that event, you would want to make the samba machine a
wins server ;-)
