I don't know how Windows does this, but I know initially MacOS X does
not transmit a username. When using the "Connect to Server", have you
tried clicking on Authenticate? Only then does it tell the server who
you are and for me the available shares get updated. However, I only
have the standard [Homes] section plus shares that are available to
everybody. So before Authenticate I see only the common shares. After
Authenticate I get my own home directory added to the list. In linux
have you tried the smbclient, supplying a username and password, to see
if you see everything you are supposed to?
