You can't use NTLM HTTP authenticated credentials to then access SMB
resources on a host other than the server with which you negotiated NTLM
authentication on behalf of the HTTP client. Specifically, the server
challenge is specific to the server with which you're performing NTLM
authentication.

Otherewise, you question is vague and I don't know how to answer.
