I have a Windows NT Domain in which I am trying to join a Red Hat 8.0 machine to the domain. I can partially get to a server by using the smb://servername address in nautilus. However when in the root directory of the server and I try to click on a share it claims I do not have the proper access to view the share. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Take a look at the man page for smbclient. you probably are not getting authenticated to the NT domain. Try creating a user account on the linux box with the same name and password as your account on the NT box.
You can mount a Windows share with this command...
mount -t smbfs -o username=chris //winserver/sharename /mnt_point
Make sure that the username you specify has access to that Windows share.
If you want to join the domain, then create a computer account in Server Manager with the same name as the Linux box. Then run this command...
smbpasswd -r pdc -j domain
The PDC and domain are the NetBIOS names of the server and domain.
