I am trying to create a Samba mount point of a Windows 2000 server shared drive/directory. I can easily mount one of a NT Server but I get a error when I try to mount of a win2k server. I get "error connecting to ###.###.###.###(IP Address) (NO route to Host)
connecition to 'host' refused
SMB connection refused"

Is the W2K machine on the same subnet as the NT machine? This may be making it too simple, but it just sounds like you are having a network connectivity issue, unrelated to Samba. Have you pinged the W2K machine from the Linux machine yet?
There is one field in Samba that I can think of that may give you this error. In your smb.conf file there are fields for hosts allow and hosts deny that determine who can utilize the Samba configuration.

I hope this will help.
