Probably more than I do, but I'll give it a whack in the head ;)

As I understand it, you just need samba to be in the same workgroup
as the NT box (it should be okay if the workgroup and domain are
the same). You should probably be running samba in either
"security=server" or domain mode. Do you have a WINS server, and
does it know the NetBIOS name of the samba box? That should be
about it.
