IIRC, Win2k3 only uses port 445 for smb/cifs by default, and our mount_smbfs 
can only use 139 (or thereabouts :) ). It would be nice if mount_smbfs were 
updated to work more easily with newer versions of Windows, but in the 
meantime it should be possible to tell the Windows server to also accept 
connections on the old port. Exactly how I don't remember ATM, but I've 
done it before.
