try net use \\ip address\Tester.
If that works then you need to set up your samba server or an nt server as a
WINS server.
To do this go to [global] put wins support = yes and restart smb
each workstation should be set up to look to your samba server as a wins
server through the tcp/ip properties.
Hope this helps.
