Following up one more time. I can access the shared folders on any of
my LAN's Win2K and WinXP boxes if I enter the desired link in the
Nautilus browser location bar.

i.e smb://dmz/d$/
or smb://jedi/games/

Which I then bookmark. Not very satisfactory since I wanted to get to
these through the "network servers" link in Nautilus, but it's an OK
workaround for now.
