[andreas at pandora andreas]$ smbclient -L DUCKMAN -N
session request to DUCKMAN failed (Call timed out: server did not respond after 20000 milliseconds)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Call timed out: server did not respond after 20000 milliseconds)

But let's not forget, I don't have a problem with this particular error with
the DUCKMAN machine. It's just that it is causing other things to break.

I'm working on that. The network is a simple switched LAN but with several
smb servers.
