[Samba] authentication problem

Hi all:

I have a strange authentication problem. Samba box is running on a local
network with about 300 Win2000 and WinXP clients as a domain member. No
problems with local authentication to printer resources. On the WAN, all
other locations with Win2000 and WinXP clients can access resources no
problem. There are also Terminal Servers in each location (about a dozen
different cities) and all Terminal Server clients can access Linux/Samba
resources except one. This one asks for user/password authentication
(which you are never able to successfully provide). If you browse to the
IP address instead of the netbios name, you can at least see the
printer/file resources but get an error message "unable to connect" when
installing a printer. The same user login on different Terminal Servers
works fine except this one.

Thanks

Greg
