Trouble w/ UNC

We are attempting to configure Samba to be able to transfer files (data and
some images) from Solaris 2.6 to optical storage connected to an NT 5
machine:

UNIX Server -----> Samba -----> NT Server with FileNET App -----> Optical
Storage

We need the NT server to be able to read/write to/from UNIX.  I don't
understand the NT piece of things, but following is what our guy who is
doing the NT piece is saying about our current problem:

"I need to be able to access the UNC for a directory located on Solaris
using Samba. I have a process on NT that needs to be able to access this UNC
path for writing and reading of files. The main point is that it needs to be
able to connect without the prompting of a password. I have tried mounting a
drive on the NT box and this works fine because I can enter a password and
connect to the Samba server, but the software package running on the NT box
cannot access the drive in this format . As stated before it must be an
unmounted drive and access must be granted through the UNC path."

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

-Dave
