[Samba] Dual-homed weirdness

[Dean Davis]

Wade:

Have you checked the 'Advanced' settings of your network configuration
to ensure that 'Client for Microsoft Networks' uses the desired NIC when
performing NETBIOS resolution?

It sounds like your XP boxes are defaulting to the 192.168.2.x NIC and
eventually timing out.

Regards,
