samba - Jan 2004 - System error 1240

When using Dos command:
net use Z: \\servername\public
I get prompted for a user name and password.  I have admin priveleges and have
tried using user root, user admin, user guest, my own account etc.  And I get
System error 1240 has occurred.
The account is not authorized to log in from this station.
What could be causing this?
This is happening via a remote connection from my laptop using our VPN.  When I
use my computer local in the office, I have no problem mapping the drive
connecting using root login.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

This usually indicates that Samba is set in 'encrypt passwords = no'
mode, and the client has not had a registry patch applied.

The suggested solution is to upgrade Samba to encrypted passwords.
