Hello Hongwei,
So the attached pcap show dfs referral traffic between a S4 and XP hosts.
Where we can see that XP is requesting a level 4 referral and that S4
answers to it with an answer following the specification.
After this XP is blocked or fallback to NTLM auth (not shown in this
capture but in this one: http://www.matws.net/mat/misc/dfs2.pcap.gz).
So I'm wondering if it's normal, maybe XP didn't appreciate the level 4
answers.
Matthieu.
