Have you tried mapping it to the IP address? I find that WINS/DNS resolution doesn't always work well.
For example I map drive R to \\165.248.31.123\public It may also be the kind of security setup on the Samba server.

I have samba set up on various systems being accessed from every version of Windows from 95 on up. Everything works great. If you want user-level security, you will need to enable password encryption on the samba side *or* hack the registry on every Windows box. (Find the file ENCRYPTION.txt in the samba docs for more informatin.) If you don't care about security (if the shares on a box are going to be wide open), then it might be simpler to just set samba for share-level security. I've also found that it often makes life easier to force the samba box to be the master browser by setting "local master = yes", "os level = 33" (or some higher number), and "preferred master = yes". (Set all that, then restart samba.) If you can see the box in the Network Neighborhood browse list, this *probably* isn't a problem. Good luck.
