Strange Authentication Phenomenon

Hi,

I have a server running windows server 2003,AD and MS SQL server named
Cupid.
I can successfully authenticate with this server by IP or by the name
Cupid, but when I'm trying to authenticate with this server by
different hostname that point to the same IP I am getting "access
denied".

for example:
if I try:
\\10.0.0.1 (the IP of the server)
or
\\Cupid
I can access the server successfully.

but if I try:
\\DbServer (DbServer is hostname of 10.0.0.1)
I get "access denied"

I rechecked that DbServer is point to the correct IP.
The same phenomenon apear when I try to connect to the SQL server.

Has somebody any creative idea?

thanks
