samba - Jun 2003 - New samba connection will not work

I'm fairly new to samba but I've spent too long on this - can anyone
help?

This system was previously working on another domain. Now I have tried to
register it on the
production domain (it has been removed from the test domain and I've deleted
the secrets file and
then added it to the live (OASIS) domain and I get


C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32>net use * \\confasr1\midas
System error 53 has occurred.

The network path was not found.

When I added it to the domain I got:

smbpasswd -D3 -j OASIS -r OADC01 -U adminID%password
Initialising global parameters
params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file
"/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf"

My smb is

# /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -V
Version 2.2.8a

My smb.conf file is :
( an almost identical smb.conf is used on another server with no problems)

Looks like your client can't resolve the NETBIOS name - did you try a DNS
name or dotted decimal address instead of 'confasr1'?  And you can
always
use LMHOSTS on the client if you really want the NETBIOS name.
