Hmmm...
you should be able to see the shares with a command...
smbclient -L ip_address_of_Windows_NT_Server
So let's get more basic
Does Windows NT Server have TCP/IP protocol installed? Is ip address on the
same subnet as your linux box? Does Windows NT server have ANY firewall product
running on it? Does Linux box have a firewall running on it? 'ipchains -L' or
if you are using iptables 'iptables -L' - is it possible that the netbios ports
137/138/139 are blocked on the internal lan NIC?
Is Windows NT Server a domain controller? If so - get the domain name exactly
right in the 'Workgroup' in /etc/samba/smb.conf
then 'service smb restart'
then 'smbpasswd -j DOMAINNAME' - this will join the domain/create a workstation
trust account for the linux box on the domain server.
then you should have no trouble with 'smbclient -L ip_address_of_Win_NT_Server
(though you might have to supply an administrator password to access the shares.
