Samba Question
 
I am using samba to on Red Hat Linux 7.0
There is a problem occuring with the NetBios Name. When I gave the netbios name of lenght greater then 7 characters then I can see the shares on windows client by simply doing "\\<netbios-name>" but when I gave the netbios name of lenght less then or equal to 7 characters then the windows client says the "You are not authorized to access from this station". Can you tell me why samba is showing this kind of behavious

Example:

Case 1:
Linux Samba smb.conf :- netbios name = LinuxSamba # netbios name > 8 chr
Windows Client :- \\LinuxSamba #Works

Case 1:
Linux Samba smb.conf :- netbios name = Linux # netbios name < 8 chr
Windows Client :- \\LinuxSamba # Does not Work
