Help please -- smbmount refuses to work!

Hey folks...this is my first time working with samba and I'm stumped here! I
cannot get smbmount to work for the life of me, and I've been playing with
this for a few days now to no avail. I'm hoping someone here might be able
to help me out, so I've included as many details as I could think of. Also,
if this is the wrong forum, I apologize in advance...please point me to the
right place to ask.

I'm running Slackware v7 w/ 2.2.16 kernel. The smbfs support is compiled
into the kernel. There is no firewalling on this box (named ea) or on the
Win2k box (named bugs) I'm attempting to connect to. The share on the Win2K
has read access to everybody, and is viewable just fine from other machines.
Samba is actually up and running just fine on the slackware box. I can see
it browsing the network from the Win2K box, map a share, write, etc. Both
machines are in the same subnet, and the IP's were intentionally replaced
with the X's. The slackware box, however, cannot view or map to anything on
the Win2K box. All I can get is a "session request to BUGS failed (Not
listening on called name)" error message. If I do a netstat on the Win2K box
it shows the connections to :139 though. The username/password that is being
used to log into the slackware box, is the same as the u/p specified on the
command like for the mount, and is also a matching account created w/
administrative permissions on the Win2K box. Following is the output I get
from smbmount. Oh one last note, if I try "smbclient -M bugs" I can send a
message successfully. Go figure. Hopefully someone might be able to point me
in the right direction. Thanks in advance for your help!

PS. Just out of curiosity, does anybody know if you can mount a microsoft
DFS share from an NT v4 server with smbmount? This is not what I'm
attempting to do here, but was just curious if it would work, since I can't
try it out myself at the moment! Thanks again.
