Samba problem

I have desktop computers running Windows 2000 at 2 locations (one in New 
York, the other in New Jersey).  Both are on the same network.  I have a 
notebook computer running Fedora Core.  I can ping the other computers 
from the notebook.  I can also remotely control them using various VNC 
clients.  However, my problem is with mounting the shared drives of the 
desktop computers on my notebook.  Only the computer at the location 
where I connect my notebook can be mounted.  The distant computer gives 
me an 'SMB connection failed' error message.

lines from /etc/fstab (passwords fake):

//sbrown/C$             /home/sbrown/ny         smbfs   
username=sbrown,password=abcdefg,rw
//sbrownvldc/D$         /home/sbrown/nj         smbfs   
username=sbrown,password=abcdefg,rw

Using the mount command at the command line also fails.

Any help would be appreciated.
