I think I found the problem. My server is behind a NAT-firewall, and
it have several internal interfaces. _One_ of them is mapped
externally. The VOS server seems to report all of the interfaces as
available for fileserver access, and unix clients is intelligent
enough to only contact the external mapped interfaces when
communicating from outside the firewall. NT clients try to access one
of the internal adresses instead, which, of cause, is not available.

The solution is to use the NetRestrict file and disable the other
external-non-accessible interfaces - then it works with both unix and
nt clients.

However - I still wonder why there is a differnce in semantics...
