Can't connect from Windows 2000

[jennyw]

I recently upgraded my Linux install (Debian potato to woody) and now Samba
is no longer  playing nice with Windows 2000. I can use smbclient on the
samba machine to connect to itself,  so at least that's working. The error
from Windows is: "The semaphore timeout period has expired.".

I deleted the smb.log file at one point in an effort to reset it.  I figured
it'd be created again but I haven't seen it ... This is even after removing
and re-installing Samba.  How do I get this back?  There are files in
/var/log/samba, though, for smbd and nmbd.log. The file log.smbd contains
these errors which might be related to the problem:

[2001/11/28 10:41:03, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_data(478)
  read_socket_data: recv failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer

[2001/11/28 10:48:43, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_data(478)

I did a Web search for this problem and came across several posts from folks
who have experienced the same problem, but only one solution. I'm a bit
hesitant to implement that solution because it involves changing the source
code. I'm not even sure the source file is part of samba (in fact, the file
isn't on my system).  The fix is  documented at:

http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cxh/sapub/samba.html

so if anyone has an opinion on it I'd like to hear it!

Ideally, though, there's a solution that doesn't involve changing code.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks!
