Samba, as I recall, only works on LANs, because the protocol is not routable across the Internet. I have never been able to get Samba to work across the Internet. Sure wish it would!!!
In other words, I do not know, off hand, how to mount a disk across the Internet between a Windows server and a UNIX server, sorry. If you find an answer, let me know because I would like to mount a remote Linux filesystem across the Internet on my XP workstation.

masktest {//server/share} [-U user%pass] [-d debuglevel] [-W workgroup] [-n numloops] [-s seed] [-a] [-E] [-M max protocol] [-f filechars]
[-m maskchars] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
masktest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour between Samba's own implementation and that of a remote server. It will run
generate random filenames/masks and check if these match the same files they do on the remote file as they do on the local server. It will
display any differences it finds.
This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour between Samba and Windows servers.
OPTIONS

once for the second).
-s seed
Seed the random number generator with the specified value.
-n numops
Set the number of operations to perform.
-a
Print the operations that are performed.
-M max_protocol
Maximum protocol to use.
-f
Specify characters that can be used when generating file names. Default: abcdefghijklm.
-E
Abort when difference in behaviour is found.
-m maskchars
Specify characters used for wildcards.
-v
Be verbose
