Do you need it to work over \\fqdn?

At least you can access it over \\shortname.

When I switched from samba to cifs over a year ago, I could only get 
\\ip working for some reason. It was extremely painful to have to swap 
from samba to cifs because a buggy samba was packaged and no updates 
forthcoming only to see wonderful instantaneous response but only over 
unsecured \\ip which led to a host of other problems.

On the matter of samba, one needs to run 3.6.9 if one still has Windows 
2000 Servers around or 3.6.12 if everything is at least Windows 2003 
Server versions. 3.5.x has issues with threading or something as no 
matter what version I tried whether 3.5.14 or 3.5.21, it would build a 
huge number of threads/child processes that were 'owned' by init.
