Network is Busy

[Bruce Collins]

I'm afraid I won't be much help resolving this problem, I only wanted to
point out the we seem to be experiencing exactly the same problem.

We were connected to Samba on an HP3000 server running 1.9.?, without any
problem, but when we upgraded the server to 2.04 our Win95 and Win98 clients
all get a Network is busy error whenever we try to connect.

A Windows NT client seems to connect fine, however we have noticed that
there is a long delay (20-30 seconds) when we first connect.

One other thing that we noticed is that when we start samba on the HP3000 it
seems to be doing some sort of polling which is causing our proxy server (on
the NT machine) to dial out to the internet as if it is looking for an IP
address that isn't on our local network. I have been able to track it down
yet, but this polling is keeping our internet connection open all the time
that Samba is running. Does anybody have any idea what it's doing, and where
I can find the IP address that it's trying to poll?
