[LUG] Connecting to Windows 2003 server from debian

[Henry Bremridge <henry.bremridge@xxxxxxxxx>]

In the office, I can connect immediately to the server using the command

    mount.cifs //Directory my_mount_point/ -v -o 
user=xxxxx,password=xxxxx,domain=xxxxx

I am also told there are no firewalls or anything but when I try connect
from home using the command

    mount.cifs //Server_IP_Address/Directory my_mount_point/ -v -o 
user=xxxxx,password=xxxxx,domain=xxxxx

Then I get the error message

    mount error(110): Connection timed out
    Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

If however I open up firefox then I can see Windows Small Business Server 2003 (but 
cannot mount the directory and read read/write files)

Any assistance or pointers gratefully received
