So this sounds like it might be an Active Directory (Windows 200x) domain.
Correct?
If so, then your Windows NT4 compatible domain name is most probably MOBOT.

Well, you can not have a machine name and the NT4 compatible domain name the
same. That breaks badly. That is specified quite clearly in chapter 9 of
TOSHARG.
So let's rename the Samba server to GEORGE; in smb.conf [global]:
netbios name = GEORGE
Now, stop nmbd and smbd, delete the wins.dat and browse.dat files, restart
nmbd and smbd.

In what manner do you expect that the smb.conf configuration will depend on
the host OS? It should not.

In smb.conf [global] add:
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
In /etc/samba/smbusers add:
westmore = mwestmoreland
Execute:
smbpasswd -a westmore
Now try to connect from the UNIX console:
smbclient -L GEORGE -U%
That should give a null-session listing of resources.
Now try:
smbclient //GEORGE/westmore -Uwestmore%thesmbpassword

\\george\westmore
If your westmore smbpassword is the same as your mwestmoreland password the
connection should be transparent. (ie: no password prompt).

Follow Samba-3 by Example chapter by chapter. You'll get there.
