Have you tried the smbclient or smbfs

I had the same problem but after I got the smbfs installed, I think this has
been replaced by cifs but I couldn't get it working, I did a mount, eg

mount -t smbfs //work/d //mnt/work/d -o username=xxx,password=xxx

and it worked perfectly, but as steve said it could also be a firewall thing
as well
