[Samba] Samba 3.0.22, SUN Sol2.9 not working

Hi,

I installed Samba 3.0.22 succesfully on a Solaris 2.9 system (SUN 
Blade 2000 - hmacs). Then I installed it on another Solaris 2.9 
system (SUN Fire V880 - fenix).

The smb.conf file on both machines is very simple and virtually the same.
(see below)

I performed the tests
/usr/local/samba/bin/testparm /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
normal results on 1st and 2nd machine

/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -L hmacs.cmi.ua.ac.be
OK on first machine

/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -L fenix.cmi.ua.ac.be
(on second machine)
read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Connection reset by peer.
tree connect failed: Read error: Connection reset by peer

/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient //hmacs/pdon
OK on first machine, I see the directory pdon on the hmacs machine

/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient //fenix/pdon
(on second machine)
tree connect failed: Call returned zero bytes (EOF)
read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Connection reset by peer.
tree connect failed: Read error: Connection reset by peer

The only difference between the two smb.conf files is in:
workgroup (WISINF versus PCLAB) 
hosts allow (subnets 75 and 77 versus 75 and 78).

I still can work without problem on the second machine with the
older Samba 2.2.9 with that same smb.conf file (without the 
encrypt passwords = no line for 2.2.9 version which is needed in 3.0.22)

What can be wrong ?

Thanks in advance for any hints.

Pieter

smb.conf:
---------
[global]
    comment = smb.conf
    encrypt passwords = no
    printing = sysv
    load printers = yes
    guest account = nobody
    hosts allow = 143.129.75. 143.129.78.
    log file = /usr/local/samba/log.%m
    max log size = 5000
workgroup = PCLAB

[homes]
    comment = Home Directories
    browseable = no
    read only = no
    create mask = 0755
    guest ok = no

[printers]
    comment = All Printers
    browseable = no
    printable = yes
    public = no
    read only = yes
    create mask = 0700
    lpq command = lpstat -p%p -o%p
