Windows 95 Error 88

SAMBA Gurus,

I almost hesitate to ask this because it may be very simple,
but I am stuck and need some help.  We run SAMBA on an
IBM RS/6000 server and mount filesystems on PCS running
Win95 O/S.  This process works for every PC except one.
One this machine, the following error is displayed when
the 'net use' command is issued:

  ERROR 88: an error occurred while data was being written
  to the disk.  Data might have been lost.  Ensure that the disk
  you want to write to has enough space available and that you
  have write permission for the file and then try again.

As I said, there are no problems with any other PCS.  This
particular PC can access SAMBA on another server and
get to the data through it, but that server is moving to another
building and we need to get this working.

Our PC administrators insist that it is a UNIX problem (they
fear UNIX) but the system is fine and it passed all the SAMBA
diagnostics tests.  Any ideas?

Best Regards,
