Second thing is to find out the IP adress of your XBian by running 'sudo ifconfig' and look at the line inet addr: <something>. type this exact adress in the Windows Explorer instead of the hostname (\\192.168.170.31 in my case) and see if this works. for instance my OE HTPC is only acessible with the IP adress from the Windows explorer.
btw: Is your Pi connected via LAN or Wifi?

Terminal

root@xbian:/home/xbian# service samba status
[ ok ] nmbd is running.

Trying the \\192.168.0.251 returns the same result.

Terminal

lucifer@gate:~$ nmap 192.168.0.251

And it works on LAN with DHCP MAC allocated address.
