Mac OS details:
Our client was able to access her network resources without any problem 
until  yesterday.

She is using a high end Macbook Pro. She has the latest full version of 
Dave 7.1 installed.  Her Mac OS X is 10.4.11

When she attempts to connect to these resources she receives the 
following error:

"The Finder cannot complete the operation because some of the data in 
smb://........ could not be read or written. (Error code -36)."

Attempts to connect to the shares have used fully qualified domain names:

smb://server.my.domain/share_name

Her Domain password is correct and working.  We tested it out on a PC.
 
Samba server details:
client is on different subnet from samba server
no evidence on samba logs of connection attempt by client

We have googled our brains out and tried using NETBIOS names and ip 
addr's in place of fqdn's. 

Any suggestions out there?
