What userid and password are being passed to the domain? You probably
are being granted guest privileges and have limited access to the
domain.

Is the pdc "name" registered in DNS or just wins? The host command is a
client side extension specific to DNS. DNS and wins are two completely
different methods of resolving host names to ip's and vice versa. By
default, all Windows machines are registered in wins, but require an
administrator to add them to DNS if needed (execption: Win2000 AD
requires DNS entries).

Have you tried cli vs gui?
I would recommend trying the following:
$ smbclient //pdc/netlogon -U <nt_userid>
Password: <nt_password>
You should receive the following:
Domain=[MPTC_TPA] OS=[Windows NT 4.0] Server=[NT LAN Manager 4.0]
smb: \>
Now just type in ftp type commands like "cd", "ls", "get", "put", etc.
smbclient is part of the samba package, but does not require the samba
server functions to be running in order to work. smbclient is
essentially a ftp client for Windows shares.
