Since smb works and this seems to be a name resolution issue, maybe DNS is set 
up wrong on the other NIC - since this is a per-nic configuration in windows.

Where might I find some readable documentation on how windows permissions 
actually work?  I was under the impression that the Backup Operators group 
always had access while an Administrator might have to change ownership to get
