This also happens with smbclient, it was able to login
just by giving username but was unable to see the list
of subfolders inside the shared folder.
But when I add the -W option and set the workgroup
same as the domain of winnt & win98, smbclient was
then able to see the list.
May be you have an idea why?

Thanks,
Vincent
