Default Vista on workgroup cannot access domain shares (was ok on XP)

I have test machines on vmware that are on a workgroup. Accessing network
shares on the domain was working OK with XP, simply connected to
\\server-ip\share-name and XP would ask for the user/pass and voila...

Now installed Vista, and I get errors saying (translated from French)...
The account is currently locked... not possible to connect...

Something like that.

I have put a vista on the domain and it's working as expected.

Anyway I can make this work. For testing purposes, I cannot attach test
Vista on domain ?

Thanks,

Have you tried different logon ID?

I don't event get to a login prompt asking for a user/pass (with a local user
on vista matching the one on the domain). The above message is right after
doing a start-run \\server-ip\share-name

For fun, I created another user (that does not match domain name) on vista
and try the same thing... Different result...

I now get a the user/pass pair, but all my attempts fails, cannot connect to
my server share. The domain\user, user only give error message saying server
not accessible. User@domain give a message like wrong password.

Another thing I did, from vista, I tried to logon the domain server with a
VPN connection with my domain account... That did not work either, it even
locked my account on the domain!!!

Thanks for the help...

I would check the DNS settings first. Any errors when using nslookup?

Not related to DNS... I used IP on all testing... I got it to work with this
setup

1. VISTA on a workgroup
2. User in vista is different than the user on domain
3. Connect with \\server-ip\share
4. Enter domain account in that format domain-name\user

If the VISTA user is the same as a domain account, I could not connect. All
other format like user@domain does not work.

VPN connection to domain does not work either, even with the
user-not-on-domain in vista.

Thanks,
