Account not authorized to login - WHY NOT?

Hello:

I have installed Samba successfully on a Sun Solaris 8 (Sparc box). Using the SWAT web tool I was ablt to get a smb.conf file created. If can connect directly from the Sparc box with no problems, example:

  smbclient //localhost/homes
  added interface ip=10.12.254.58 bcast=10.12.254.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
  Password:
  Domain=[SMBWORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.2]
  smb: \>         [at this point I can ls my home directory "/export/home/murraylk"]

However, try as I might, I can't attach from my PC, example

  C:\>net use g: \\ldsslcu158\homes
  System error 1240 has occurred.
  The account is not authorized to log in from this station.

I have gone over and over all the smb.conf , and have specifically included my W2K WS (static IP) into the "hosts equiv" and "hosts allow" section, summary example:

  # Samba config file created using SWAT
  # from MurrayLK (10.12.192.83)
  # Date: 2001/12/21 10:21:01
  # Global parameters
  [global]
	workgroup = SAMBA
	server string = Samba Server
	security = SERVER  ["USER" etc. don't work either]
	hosts equiv = 10.12.192.83
	log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
	max log size = 50
	dns proxy = No
	hosts allow = 10.12.192.83
  [homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	read only = No
	browseable = No

Does anyone have an idea what a "System error 1240 is" [W2K workstation] or why "The [my] account is not authorized to log in from this station  I use the same name & password on my W2K & Solaris box.  First CORRECT answer gets tickets for two to Jimmy Neutron movie via PayPal.

Thanks,

Lance
