did you look in smb.conf and make sure that the share name and server
(i.e., domain) name are what you're entering when trying to access the
share?

Yes they are the same.  My goal is to make my computer act the same under
WinNT and Linux/Samba as far as file/print/NAT goes.  I did get file/print
working under NT.  I was in Linux and used smbclient to access the same
NT server/share name.

When my regular computer is running NT, the share is visible to 9$.  When
that same computer runs Linux/Samba, it is not visible.  Yet I can access
that share from my NT box at work.
