I don't have one any more, I gave up after tampering for ever - got it 
working and then forgot how. BUT I remember I had to use the ip-number 
of the server in question instead of any computername.

That said (no I have no shares or so) I dropped all that after finding 
that the Gutsy version of Smb4k does the job for me automagically.
