[wellylug] Sharing with windows

[E.Chalaron]

Hi all
I must, as usual, miss a point somewhere :
I have a windows 2000 machine here and I need to share an external HD plugged 
in it with my Linux Pcs.
I have enabled the sharing option under windows, (though I have not restarted 
it yet for a good reason), 

From any linux machine smbtree is finding the windows PC (Taranaki)

gascogne#smbtree

WINDOWS
        \\TARANAKI
MDKGROUP
        \\RIMUTAKA                      Samba Server 3.0.2a
      

Now I try to 
smbmount //taranaki/ /mnt/external_hd_on_taranaki
password : blablabla

Connection refused ... :-(

I made sure that the share under windows is as unsecure as possible by giving 
al sort of rights to everyone, suggesting that I am doing something wrong 
somewhere...

Any suggestion welcome to sort this out, I have 500 Gb of data to transfert 
and it is painfully slow via scp...

Thanks
Edouard
