You must have being playing with shares security tab via server manager!

2 options:
- Fire up server manager on an admin workstaion, login to the server and
change the security of the IPC$ share back to what it was originally.
- Delete share_info.tdb and restart samba (you will loose ALL the SDs
set via Server Manager on shares, but this will bring you back to the
default).

Simo.
