File server appliance connecting to Samba shares from Windows systems

I got my file server appliance deployed through Amazon EC2 Cloud but I am not clear about how to test or connect to the shared resources from a Windows system. I have experience connecting to resources on Windows.  That's not the problem. It just fails when I try to connect with the appliances UNC path.  I happened to be testing from Windows 7 Professional, but I will be connecting with some XP systems as well.  The setup was amazingly easy, as indicated on the turnkey linux site but I am not sure how to proceed from here.  Does anyone have any simple steps that I could follow?  Thanks.
