Samba with Windows XP client

I'm running Samba on a Fedora machine,
and was hoping to access files on a Windows XP Pro client,
by "sudo mount -t cifs harriet:C /mnt/win".
This works OK, but I am not able to browse on the Windows machine.

Am I misunderstanding something about how Samba works?
Do I need to specify this Windows folder on the Linux box?
Or is there some step I am meant to take on the Windows machine,
beyond allowing File and Folder Sharing?
