Okay.. Is samba running (may be a stupid question)

Can you instead of using the name, try the IP address?

mount -t smbfs //192,168.196.44/d /mnt/win

(is it really named d? of d$)

how about 
mount -t smbfs -o guest //192,168.196.44/d /mnt/win

or try listing the shares

smbclient -L 192,168.196.44

and please reply to the list.
