You did not show any relevant code fragment. Are we supposed to guess the problem?
Please show us some relevant code (i.e. where you 'call images from windows server in website').

Samba is not a valid Web protocol. You can solve this problem is you install and run some HTTP server on the other site. It does not have to be exposed to outside Internet or even have a domain name (you can use IP-based URLs), but it will give you opportunity to hotlink those files in a "real" Web site. For this server, I would recommend to use Apache.
