Hi Trejkaz,

Try the machine name for the domain.

Also try using a fully qualified DNS hostname instead of the IP.

I'm not aware of mac having an issue like this. It should work. The
SESSION_SETUP_ANDX in your capture is perfectly valid. For some reason
I would not be surprised if mac were fickle about something like an
empty domain. That would be a special case that the server would have
to consider (by mapping it to the local machine domain).

Mike
