Win2003 Shares Inaccessible With FQDN

Hi,

Any ideas on how to resolve the following would be greatly
appreciated:

On a Windows 2003 server, we setup a share.

From the server itself, as well as from the other servers on the
network,
we can easily access the share as \\<server>\<share>

However, when we try to access the share using the server's FQDN on
the server
itself (Using Start-Run-<share>), Win2003 requests a userid/password
(And it does not accept a valid userid/password combination). When
trying to do so from other servers, an error message stating that
the share is inaccessible is displayed.

So, \\<server>\<share> works, but \\<server>.<X>.com\<share> does not.

nslookup,ping, etc.. indicate no problems with the FQDN. The
server's IP address is the same with and without the FQDN.

This happens both with a local account as well as a network account.


Thanks,
DF

Any errors if you do dcdiag?
