SMB Solaris share problem

Symptoms:
Cannot authenticate to smb share when solaris server is in workgroup mode (logon is without domain, like standalone windows clients).
Password is correct.
Windows pc can connect to the same share.
Astro Manager can connect to the same share.
Preinstalled Archos file manager can connect too.
ES Explorer cannot (going to post on their forums too)

Solaris says in dmesg "smbd[747]: [ID 653746 daemon.notice] SmbLogon[?\Andys]: WRONG_PASSWORD"
When I intentionally connect from windows xp and provide wrong password, error is the same, only with AA-MAIN\Andys username.

When the same solaris server is in domain mode and I provide domain credentials, share is accesible. Only local username/password is never accepted (and as I mentioned above, it works with other managers and client pcs)

I tried entering hostname as a domain (SOLSERV\Andys), it didn't work

Hmm, no idea - TC uses the same Java library (JCIFS) as Astro does. It's probably just a parameter I would have to set, but I couldn't find anything regarding JCIFS and Solaris.

WRONG_PASSWORD proably means that the server doesn't support the requested login method (NTLMv2).
