A minor point is that you are setting the domain to a different domain 
than the one your server is in, but that is less likely to be the problem.

Some important questions:

1) 2.4 or 2.6 Linux kernel (specific mount error messages aren't returned 
very well in 2.4 kernels so you may need to look at the output of dmesg). 
2) which version of the cifs code (see the top of fs/cifs/CHANGES). On 2.6 
kernels
you can now display the version via modinfo on the cifs.ko module as well. 
 If you are using 2.4 kernel the cifs client code you would be downloading 
would be 1.20c and fs/cifs/CHANGES would show version 1.20
3) Do you have a mount.cifs file installed (usually in /sbin) and which 
version of the mount.cifs mount helper (type "/sbin/mount.cifs -V")
4) what is the target server's operating system and version
