To Windows, hbml\TErby and TErby are often two different users... 
domains are considered significant (and Windows has its own nonobvious 
rules about what happens when you don't specify the domain).

We need more information though - what client/server version, what OS 
for the client and server (I'm guessing Windows for the client), what 
protocols are you using to connect, what ACLs are you setting, any 
helpful trace output, etc.
