This can't be done. The best way for Macintosh users to access a filer (or any NT box) is to use a product from Thursby Software called Dave.
Here's a link to their web site:

Hello everyone,
I am trying to setup MAC Naming Services on a NTFS volume on our NetApp. Not sure how this works and if it can be done. The objective is allow our MAC users access for file storage and retrieval on this volume.
Anyone have any ideas ???
I'm not a big fan of DAVE. But that's your only choice if you're giving access to an NTFS share.
I prefer using Xinet's KA-Share or Helios' EtherShare to mount the NetApp via NFS and then allow access via AppleShare. (I only have experience with KA-Share, but both products support "re-exporting" NFS volumes.) No extra software on the desktops needed. Of course you need a UNIX server and NFS volumes for this to work.

Also, you can check the archive, there was a thread on 14 Oct 1998 here on the same subject "Macintosh Access."
