What if you just connect to " \\powerbook\" ?

If that doesn't work, I'd guess that Windows won't support it. But try connecting to the \\powerbook\ and see if it lists shares.

Using Mac OS X Client, only your homedir is shared for SMB.

I think SharePoints (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12512) could help you out here.
