In that case, you don't really need to use your SMB/NMB servers.  You
need to use smbmount (mount -t smbfs) or smbclient to access your files
on your NT share from your linux box.

mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=password //ntserver/sharename
/your/linux/mnt/point

smbclient //ntserver/sharename (with user and pass as needed). 
smbclient uses LOGNAME, so if you have an account with that name on the
NT box, you should be OK, and it will prompt you for your password.
