I do not recall seeing any response to this here, which is rare.  The 
newsgroup comp.os.vms may also be of assistance.

In the SAMBA distribution there used to be a Diagnostics.txt file with a 
list of things to test.

There is also an FAQ that I posted to comp.os.vms and encompasserve.org 
last January.  It does not cover the 2.0.3, but it does cover a number 
of items.  http://www.google.com.

In general the DOS net view, the SAMBA NMBLOOKUP, and SMBCLIENT should 
be used to verify connectivity.

Increasing the DEBUG level on the SMBD process can sometimes show what 
the problem is.

I have not actually done anything with SAMBA with about a year.
