You may also need to authenticate with username@<OIHOST> or <OIHOST>\username rather than just with username since Windows will try to use guest if not prompted, or windowsuser@windowshost or domain\windowsuser
For example, when I access my admin shares on my OI box, they're tied to a robbieadmin account, which is local only to my OI box. When I sign in with that account I do robbieadmin@file00 rather than [email protected], with file00 being the hostname of my OI box, and crash.local being my AD domain.
