I tried mounting from a Linux box a share that resides on a W2K server.
AFAIK (I'm not an administrator on that server, so I can't double check)
the W2K system is a domain member, while the Linux box definitely isn't.

Mounting that share succeeds regardless of the number of copies of the
NTLM response (1 or 2) that cifs or smbfs send in the setup request.
