I am writing you a half-answer because a similar question that I posted to
this list went unanswered. I believe using the steps you described, you have
not done a UNIX mount, but added a Samba share. I was never able to solve
opening dialog boxes to windows machines (I was looking for that KDE
"network" icon-type-thing). I can access my linux fileserver now using
Ubuntu linux by executing a short shell script with explicit mounts done
through NFS when I log on.

I can only suggest making your fileserver a linux machine. I have one with
two disks using the rsync program to back up files nightly and all the
computers (linux and windows) in our house point to it as a central
fileserver. Life has been good since I did this.

cheers,
