    I have run into similar situations while performing PenTests.  Why this
occurrs, I don't know, but try rebooting the system.  I have run "net use
/delete *" to ensure all connections are dropped, but only the reboot
cleaned everything up.  Not sure why, but sometimes after running an
automated tool something gets hosed.  A simple reboot after the scan and
then connect on first try.

Also, it looks like you have the command line sequence correct now, but if
it still doesn't connect correctly, try the GUI with NT Explorer.
