[Samba] Error:The semaphore timeout period has expired

[BURRUEL, BENJAMIN D (SBCSI)]

> We are  experiencing the "semaphore timeout period has expired" error
> while attempting to connect to a Samba share on an AIX machine from
> W2k desktops.  
> I saw some other posts in the archives about this error, but I did not
> see any about the resolution.  Has anyone come up with a resolution
> for this?
> 
> What is unusual is that we have 2 AIX servers running the same version
> of SAMBA and we can connect to one but not the other.
> Both AIX servers are physically identical.
> 
> smb.conf on both systems are nearly identical except for the server
> string statement.
