Kirk,

I'm **very** interested in this.  Can you send me 
more information?  Specifically things like 

 * what linux distribution you're running + any 
   upgrades you have made (e.g kernel, glib, etc...)

  * Your smb.conf

  * output from testparm

You can also get a packet dump from the Linux box

	tcpdump -w /tmp/output.raw -s 1500 host <windows hostname>

	(Or level 10 debug logs from smbd)

and send that to me as well?  There have been a couple of 
reports of this lately, but I cannot reproduce it.
Normally this error pops up when the netbios name and 
workgroup of the Samba box are the same.  However since you 
said it was working, I assume this is not the case here.



Thanks,
jerry
