If the Linux distribution don't have a utility like Fedora and RedaHat
does, you should go to /etc/samba/ and edit the smb.conf file using some
editor like kedit. Inside, enable the domain name where need to validate
(only delete the comment sign and replace the example name by your real
DNS).
Then, should be up the changes by running:
#service smb restart (or restarting the box)
#smbclient //hostname/sharename -U username (map to the win2000 server)

To make easy you can read about samba client: www.samba.org
Note: You need to understand the concept of Linux user and samba user,
and how they work together.
