samba - Jan 2007 - Authentication problem netbios name vs ip address

Using Ubuntu 6.06.1, Samba 3.0.22, VMWare.
 
I can access resources just fine if I type the ip address in the UNC
\\192.168.1.0\vol1 ( file://192.168.1.0/vol1 ) but not if I use the netbios name
\\linuxserver\vol1. ( file://linuxserver/vol1 )  The latter usage results in a
prompt for user ID and PW.  Regardless of which method i use, if I login as root
it works, if I login as any other user in spite of assigned rights, login is
rejected.  Users are assigned to domain admin, all shares are configured to
allow full access to domain admin.  Wins is enabled in the samba config file.
 
What is the problem here?

How about trying ping \\linuxserver from the windows machine and see
if  the ping returns ipdaddress of the machine you expect.
