samba - Mar 2005 - Denied connection for correct conf inside firewall protec tion

I did some tests with test server using Samba 2.2.8a. I received some strange
messages in the log file that cannot be with below configuration:
_____________________________________________________________________________

	From my desktop I mapped the SHARE [rodrigo] and I have no problems to access
it. Therefore, analysing the logs files, specifically the client log file in the
server, I saw some weird messages:

...
[2005/03/15 18:04:18, 0] lib/access.c:check_access(333)
  Denied connection from  (187.10.16.XXX)
...

	The weird thing is that this messages are logged only when I open some file
inside the shared directory from samba. Using "windows explorer", I
mapped the share inside windows explorer and using on the server the command
"tail -f log.client". At the moment of openning file, a tenth of this
messages are logged. The IP address showed is the IP of my Desktop and the open
file operation is sucedeed without any error messages from windows. See also
that in the smb.conf file, on the SHARE [rodrigo] I put a explicit configuration
that allow my host 187.10.16.216 to access that SHARE.

	Why these messages are logged ?? What is wrong inside my configuration ?? Is
wrong ?

Tks in advance,
