That NT machine is obviously running Service Pack 3, which refuses to connect to servers which do not support password
encryption.

There are two solutions:

1) enable SMB password encryption in Samba. See ENCRYPTION.txt in the Samba docs.

2) disable this behaviour in NT (so it will accept cleartext passwords). This is done by inserting a certain key in the
registry. See WinNT.txt in the Samba docs.
