If you're debugging samba connection problems, I reccommend that you use a 
command line tool in case it's a problem with the GUI and plus, command line 
is faster.  So, use the commands smbclient and smbmount (or mount -t smbfs).

My guess here is that you are trying to mount your win2k share without a 
username and password (this was possible in Win98 but ms has gotten rid of 
share level security -- don't know why).  So you are probably using a form of 
authentication (such as user level security) that requires a password.

So do this:

smbclient -L<win2k host>

This will tell you what shares there are.
If it says that you don't have permission to access the share list, type 
smbclient -L<win2k host> -UAdministrator and then type in your Administrator 
password when prompted.

Now after making sure the share is there (win does weird things), mount it by 
doing:

mount -t smbfs //<win2k host>/<share name> /mnt/<mount point> -o 
username=Administrator

If that works, then unmount it (umount /mnt/<mount point>), then try using 
gnomba and remember to specify username and password somehow.
Or just replace win2k with win98 :)

Please write if you need more help.
