Well, winexe sits on samba, so that's often the place to start.  Generally
speaking, most problems can be tracked down using smbclient to connect to
C$ on the same system.  If that doesn't work, winexe isn't going to work.

Since you're experiencing inconsistent symptoms from the client, I'd make
use of winexe's --debuglevel= switch to ratchet up the debug level, and
connect to a shell interactively.  (It probably doesn't matter what you
connect to.)
