I've tried it on three clients: two Win2K pro and one Win2K terminal server.
Only one Win2K pro works. All have been rebooted.

We're in a Win2K AD domain. The DFS host (samba) is using user security
and have the user accounts in the samba password DB (yes, we duplicated
the user accounts from AD and it works fine). The share is access using
netbios name. I just tried accessing it using IP and it works! What can
I do in that case?
