Logon denied - externally authenticated user over a workgroup ...

After unsuccesfully getting PO8.1.7 to work I am now trying the following

1 server (Win 2k server), 1 client (Win2k pro). Machines are part of a WORKGROUP called BATSTONE.

Server running 8.1.7 Enterprise edition, sid = ORCL, following set in init.ora
remote_login_password_file = none
os_authent_prefix = ""
remote_os_authent = TRUE

On the server and client sqlnet.ora has
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS) Created a user on the server identifed externally (the user has a server account)

create user "IBM01\TOBY EDWARDS" identified externally; grant connect, resource to "IBM01\TOBY EDWARDS";

Logged off Administrator, logged on as Toby Edwards - sqlplus / works !! (woohoo)
sqlplus /@ORCL works !! (woohoo)

Logged on the client as Toby Edwards,
sqlplus /@ORCL fails - ORA-01017 invalid username/password; logon denied

Back on the server created a user (BATSTONE being the workgroup) create user "BATSTONE\TOBY EDWARDS" identified externally; grant connect, resource to "BATSTONE\TOBY EDWARDS";

The client still fails to logon.

Interestingly in the Oracle Admin Assistant, if I choose to create an external user I can only select those users created on the server. In my live environment the database server is seperate from the domain controller so similarly does not display users in the domain.

Any help greatly appreciated
