Network Sharing on Linux

You are going to need to share your samba config. Not sure if anyone can help with just that. Possibly a permissions issue?
 
You added the shares in the SMB conf,used smbpasswd to add the user to Samba and did useradd to create the user and set the password on Linux too?

Lots of people skip the last 2

You have to restart the SMB service as well, don't you? It's been a while since I configured shares on Linux via terminal...

Tbh, you don't need to add a Unix password to a user, you just have to.make sure that user exists then smbpasswd -a

Pretty sure its a permissions issur. Either chown the folder, or chmod 77x and add the group membership to the user using usermod -g (-G may overwrite current group membership if not used with -a)
