[Samba] Can only connect to Samba thru IP, not FQDN

Hi!
I'm running FreeNAS 0.7RC1 with Samba 3.0.34. It's joined to my windows AD,
and I can see all users, and etc.

My XP clients don't have any issues connecting using either FQDN or IP,
while my vista clients suffer from the problem that if I try to connect to
the NAS by entering the following address: "\\nas01.domain.com", it keeps
asking me for username and password, no matter what combinations I try
(DOMAIN\username , username at domain, username, etc..).
Now if I try to connect to Samba using this address format:
"\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", it successfully connects, without asking for any
username or password (it's correctly using my windows domain logon
credentials from the current account).

How might I go about fixing this weird issue? Is this a client problem
(vista), or is there some configuration on the server (smb.conf?) that I
have missed?

Huge thanks in advance!
