Subzero

I have a problem sharing my two windows drives over the network.. one is FAT32 and the other one is NTFS, they are mounted in linux and that is working fine but i can't share any of those two drives on the network..
I tried changing the path in smb.conf to /tmp/ and then it worked, so i did nothing else but changed the dir to share and since that worked, the problem lies in sharing the two mounted drives..
Can someone help me?
Here is some info that might help:

the /tmp share is working just fine, i see it from my windows box in the network neighbourhood and i can browse the share..
I also see the FTP and Serverstuff shares, but when i try and browse them, i get some error message saying something about that it can't find the networkname..
