Adjust bike axle?

Hi All,
So my front wheel was making funny noises and I posted on here for help a while back. Eventually I narrowed it down to the hub. The LBS here kindly helped me out with the tools I need to service it myself. So I took a shot at it with the help of an excellent video on youtube (cjhoyle wheel bearing).

I managed to take the bearings out, clean all the old grease out (of which there was very little btw), put new bearings and screw everything back on. Just before I put the last locknut back on, I thought I'd spin the axle once..and it refused to spin :-o. Playing with the cone nuts a bit causes it to spin again but then it feels too loose.

So what's the correct way to adjust my axle? Note that I took out the locknut, cone and washers only from 1 side of the bike..not both. I just cant seem to find the exact way to fit it all back perfectly.

Help needed

Thanks
Arvind
