TID & UID's in Samba

[Tinus Kotze]

(All debugging information is at bottom)
i'm am sorry to sent this trivial(I hope) problem to you but I have 
tried 4 mail list's so far starting from small local mail-list to 
debian-user and samba but so far nobody could help me. To put it 
straightforward.
I am currently still running Samba 2.2.3a-6 on a Debian Woody(3.0) 
system with kernel 2.4.18. I'm on a lan with DNS servers, Wins Servers, 
routers(as far as I know) and about a 1000 computers mostly running 
Windows(about 90%). The problems output without debugging is at the 
bottom(I'm jmak, on DNS server and also in smb). The same response 
comes from another samba driven computer on the network when he tries 
to send me a message. Both of us can however send messages to Win 
machines on the network, ranging from 98 systems to XP's

The ERRAccess error referring to the TID and UID is really starting to 
come to me in my sleep. What can influence the TID and UID when sending 
a message. What is the specific use of the TID's. I'm a emerging 
programmer and that number of 65535 looks so much like that 2^16 (16 
bit unsigned integer value) that almost gives me a idea that it could 
be undefined or .... well something.

I included the output from the smbclient calls and also my smb.conf 
file(very raw with minimal editing since I thought it could be  a 
problem with this settings)

I would really appreciate help on this. Messaging is the main form of 
communication here and I'm currently exluded from the network and have 
been for the last 3 months.

Greetings
Tinus

# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.

#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which 
# are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) 
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentary and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
# "testparm" to check that you have not many any basic syntactic 
# errors.

# If you want Samba to log though syslog only then set the following

# Samba is still experimental.

# We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog.

higher.

# browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply

# elections. The default value should be reasonable

# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
