Hi
If you 'truly' don't need a password then use the -N switch to eliminate
that as a problem.
You may need to look further up the 'no connection' message to see the
nature of the problem.
Try getting a listing from the W2K server
smbclient -L /w2kserver -N
which should give you a list like this
jsh jbaseadm ~ -->smbclient -L /windvd -N
added interface ip=62.254.133.125 bcast=62.254.133.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
