[Samba] CIFS mount problem on Linux

[Ramadurai, Sangeetha (MED)]

hi,
	I have a SUN machine running samba server. The vxfs shares on this machine is shared thru samba server
	SUN Machine -- SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80
	Samba -- 2.2.4


	I am trying to remotely mount this share from the SUN machine, on my Linux machine (the linux kernel supports cifs).
	Linux -- Red Hat 7.3
	Linux Kernel -- 2.4.20-18.7XFS1.30pre2smp
	Linux CIFS Client version -- 0.8.2

	When i try to cifs mount a share ISUXXX,  from Machine <IPAddress>, on my linux machine i see the below problem:
	
	Try1:
	mount.cifs //<IPAddress>/ISUXXX /someMountPoint -o username=<userName>,password=<passwd>
	---> My linux box starts hanging ! Does not take any mouse, keyboard events.
	       The machine seems to be alive (i can ping it)

	Try2:
	mount -t cifs //<IPAddress>/ISUXXX /someMountPoint
	Asks for password : <I enter password>
	---> My linux box starts hanging ! Does not take any mouse, keyboard events.
	       The machine is not even alive (cannot ping)

	In this case i do not give any usename, i think it picks it from the USER env (which might be a wrong username)

Do u think iam missing something ?

I appreciate u'r help.
Thanks,
