Can't connect?  Can you be a bit more specific?

Firstly, can you check your configure output, and confirm that your
system correctly detected 'iconv'?.  Samba now uses this to convert
national characters from their Unix representation (normally UTF8) to
Unicode on the wire.  I don't think the 'client code page' is used any
more.
