samba - Feb 2014 - problem mapping share using hostname of server

Running samba version 3.2 on AIX 6.1.  Mapping share on windows 7 workstation.

I can map the share using \\<ip<file:///\\%3cip> address>\testarea.
If I attempt to map using using
\\servername\testarea<file:///\\servername\testarea> I receive an error.

smbclient -L //<servername>/testarea  on the unix box is successful

When I run a net view command I receive the following:
C:\Users\Desktop>net view
\\<servername>\testarea<file:///\\%3cservername%3e\testarea>
System error 53 has occurred.
Network path not found

I'm leaning towards something not quite right between samba config and DNS? 
But I'm not sure where to look at this point.
I
Any input would be greatly appreciated


smb.conf:
[global]
        dns proxy = yes
        log file = /usr/local/samba/log.%m
        smb ports = 139
        server string = Samba Server
        workgroup = NECA.ORG
        client lanman auth = yes
        encrypt passwords = yes
        security = user
        passdb backend = tdbsam
        max log size = 50
        client plaintext auth = yes
        unix password sync = yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

[testarea]
   comment = Test Area
   path = /testarea
   public = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no

Can you
# nslookup servername
on the Win7 box to check, if the name is resolved correctly?


Is the computer joined to the domain? And is the server a PDC or member 
server. If member server is it a member in AD or an NT4-style domain?

3.2 came out 2008 and is discontinued since almost 3 years. You should 
consider to move to a newer version. A lot of bugs have been fixed and 
support for "newer" windows OS like Win7 has been added and got 
improved. :-)
