are you trying to connect to the win2k -> samba or samba ->win2k
you only need smbclient for samba -> win2k 
(and you'll also have to add some services at myservername (which is
your win2k box ))

If you're just using smbclient to debug then try putting myservername
into the hosts file on the server too.  You could also try by IP address
of your server.  It sounds like the server doesn't know its own name...
Can you ping myservername?

not unless you want to create a domain - i don't think you do

no - you can access it by IP address or using your lmhosts

increase this to see what is happening in the logs

if you're trying to go "stealth" from the corporate IT infrastructure
and you this service is only for you consider turning this off

I think you certainly want to turn this off

is this wins server valid? - samba will use it ...
you may want to shut it off


now try to access your samba by ip address from the win2k box.
