Problems connecting to a Win2k3 drive

[FAM]

I am trying to connect a RedHat 6.2 to a Windows 2003 server with an external usb drive attached, so as to setup a backup routine but im having problems accessing the 2003 server, i can view the linux box no problem through the network neighbourhood within 2003 but i am unable to do it vice-versa, im currently trying to view just the server itself via,

$ smbclient -L SERVERNAME -Uadministrator%password

but to no avail with the error returned as,

WARNING: The "alternate permissions"option is deprecated
added interface ip=192.168.1.21 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0
Domain=[domain] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 1] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

Do i need to mount the 2003 servers usb drive within linux or is it a credential issue?
Any suggestions as im not very experienced with linux?

You may have to provide a domain?? Just shooting out a guess...

I know that when i connect through GNOME - i provide my credentials with the domain specified...

Don't use smbclient directly if you want to access a file share. Use mount -t smbfs.

Thanks for the replies.
I used a command similar to the one given below,

# mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=pass //server/archive /mnt/ntserver

but it is coming up with the error

INFO: Debug class all level = 1   (pid 27294 from pid 27294)
WARNING: The "alternate permissions"option is deprecated
27294: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed
mount: backgrounding "//server/archive"
[root /mnt]# INFO: Debug class all level = 1   (pid 27296 from pid 27296)

SMB connection failed

Any suggestions as the username/password were correct??

Tried using the AD domain in the username? It's the full context:

# mount -t smbfs -o username=domain\administrator,password=pass //server/archive /mnt/ntserver


Carlsberg don't run I.T departments, but if they did they'd probably be more fun.

The same error.

Any other suggestions?

Have you tried using SMBMount?!

smbmount //server/dir /mountpoint password
