Well, there can be a good lot of reasons. The best thing to do is to follow the troubleshooting guide on http://samba.org (the link is called: 'Diagnosing Samba' in the doc section). I think here the reason is that you are supposed to give a computer name and not an ip address, so you might want to check nmbd config, lmhosts etc. There is good doc on samba site. Good luck, -Lex
