[Samba] The strangest problem..

[Gustav Tresselt]

My problem is that I suddenly can't access my linux samba shares from XP or 98.
It's worked all  week and now - nothing. This also happened about one week ago,
then returned to normal function almost by random.

I can see the NetBIOS name in the correct workgroup, but not browse it or access any of its
shares directly (\\linux\data for instance).

I am running my network with a Cisco ADSL modem gateway. Wondering whether that has anything to do with it. From my dear Linux machine I can still:
  * access the internet
  * smbmount anything from the Win machines
  * smbmount the local share
  * I can also still SSH, FTP and HTTP connect to the Linux machine. 
SMB connect seems to be the only thing out of order. :)

Help would be much appreciated!
For those who think they might have a clue, see the log.smb from an access attempt below.

(the above sequence repeated 6 times)

Yours truly,
