Not listening for calling name
      ==============================
     
     Session request failed (131,129) with myname=HOBBES destname=CALVIN
     Not listening for calling name
    
    If you get this when talking to a Samba box then it means that your
    global "hosts allow" or "hosts deny" settings are causing the Samba
    server to refuse the connection.
   
   Look carefully at your "hosts allow" and "hosts deny" lines in the
   global section of smb.conf.
  
  It can also be a problem with reverse DNS lookups not functioning
  correctly, leading to the remote host identity not being able to
  be confirmed, but that is less likely.
 
===============================================================================
