[Samba] can't log in from windoz 2000

[Paul Mallasch]

I have the same problem, but ping works fine.

Browsing Network Neighborhood also displays Samba server & server string 
from smb.conf, but same WinDoze error as below is experienced.

I can logon to Samba on server using smbclient locally however.

Clues?

What happens when you do:

	ping ericred

from the Win2K machine?
