Reliable method to mount a Win 2K share on Linux.

[Faber Fedor]

I doubt this will help you out, but to share my experience...

I had a similar, but opposite problem. I was mounting a Linux share on an NT WS
and after several days, the NTWS would lose the connection.  After sniffing the
wire, the NTWS was doing a WINS broadcast (all the Windows boxes are set to
b-node) to find the Linux box.  I changed the box to do a "Use DNS for NetBIOS
resolution" and have not had a problem since. 

So, wrt your question, have you tried sniffing the wire to see what the
machine(s) is attempting to do?
