Unable to map network drive using server name

Hi,

I have a Windows 2000 server which is a member of a Windows NT 4.0 domain (for which the domain controller is on a different subnet). The server works fine, it can see the domain and access domain resources but when I try to Map a drive to it I get an error: "The target account name is incorrect". I can ping the server, DNS resolves the name and it replies to ping and I've checked the WINS settings which are correct but I can't map a drive unless I use the IP address instead of the name. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul
