My smb.conf has only the following and it works:

[global]
    workgroup = MYGROUP

[test]
    comment = for testing only, please
    path = /export/samba/test
    read only = no
    guest ok = yes

The above defines a 'share' (test) which is a directory created for this
setup. You could just as well have "path = /home/vikas".   Make sure your
windows machine has the same workgroup name.  The above is just a start
and needs to be updated for security, etc.
