NT Authentication not working?

I am getting an error when I try to connect to a Samba share from my NT
workstation.. It comes up with Network Error 2108 occurred... 
This happens when I'm logged into the NT Workstation with one account,
and try to connect to a private Samba share using a different account.
(I have created the unix accounts from Jerry's NT2PASSWD perl script
with no problems.. thanx Jerry :)

Eg.  NT Logon Userid: matsaki
     and in File Manager, I map drive F:
     Path: \\IMAPS1\villenh
     Connnect as: villenh

I supply the correct password for villenh , but I get the Network Error
2108... If I cancel out of the map network drive, I find that it did
actually do the mapping, because I can see the shared F directory...

I looked in the smb log file, but am not sure what is going on here, and
would appreciate if someone could maybe explain to me what is
happening?  I have no idea what Network Error 2108 is, and have checked
the Technet, but found nothing... Looking at the log, I can only guess
that I have a problem with my smbpasswd file???

If I login to the NT box with villenh, I don't have any problems mapping
to the share....ie . no errors with this method..

Here is my smb log:
