First, in your [dinu] definition you appear to be giving write access to the /tmp folder on linux? This is an exceptionally bad idea for security reasons, particularly since your granting Internet access because of your definition allowing 192.9.100.*. I would recommend you not do this and find yourself another folder to share.

Second, what is the "error" reported when the Windows clients attempt to access and which of your samba shares is the problem? More detail would be quite helpful.

have you added the samba users via the "smbpasswd -a <user>" command. Without this any users wont be able to gain access to your shares.

hope this helps

kind regards
