Hi M.D.,

I have no idea. Your debugging info shows Test\svc-it-edi-s24020
trying to mount \\s24020\IPC$. NetApp just doesn't like something
about that.

The way I would debug this sort of problem would be to get a Windows
client to do the same thing using exactly the same parameters and then
compare the two operations field-by-field in Wireshark. Or if it
sometimes works, get a log / trace of it working and compare the
fields and see if there is anything different that is meaningful.

Also, try searching the archives for "jcifs netapp parameter
incorrect". NetApp comes up once in a while. It's a little fickle. And
it's hard to test. I tried to run the simulator once but it was too
slow.

Mike
