Thank you for your fast reply!

I can log on from that IIS machine to the samba server using the account
info. Can make mappings, delete and add files, just like a regular share.
Problem starts when I use the UNC in IIS. It just refuses to work... no error
messages are given, nothing in IIS logs, nothing in samba logs, nothing in
the event viewer, just the 500 I get in my browser.

There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be
displayed.

Please try the following:

    * Contact the Web site administrator to inform them that this error has
occured for this URL address.

HTTP Error 500 - Internal server error.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

Technical Information (for support personnel)

    * Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search
for the words HTTP and 500.
    * Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and
search for topics titled Web Site Administration, and About Custom Error
Messages.
    * In the IIS Software Development Kit (SDK) or at the MSDN Online
Library, search for topics titled Debugging ASP Scripts, Debugging
Components, and Debugging ISAPI Extensions and Filters.
