Thanks to all who responded.
Special Thanks a bunch to Darren Dunham for the explaination below...
I gave the fully qualified name in the dfstab, stopped and started daemon and
that did it.
Thanks again for the quick reply.
Hats off.....

Without seeing the share line it's just a guess, but the most common
reason is that the IP address of the client does not resolve to the
exact same name that is listed in the root= access list.

Usually it's because one side is fully qualified and the other side is
just the short name. That works fine for most applications, but not for
authentication.
