Yong-Ming,

	The problem is most likely because NT, as of service pack 3,
uses encrypted passwords. You have two choices, either modify the
registry on the Window's machines to use plain text passwords, or
setup samba to use encrypted passwords. Both of these are explained on
the samba web page. ( www.samba.org ) Look under the FAQ.

You might turn up the logging on smbd and see what happens when the NT 
machine tries to connect.

No.
