[Samba] WinXp - Samba - Solaris Connection issue

Folks:

I have a strange issue that occurs when one of my XP Pro system tries
to connect to a samba server (2.0.24) on either a Sparc Solaris 10 or
Sparc Solaris 9 system.

This is the output from log.smbd when the problem XP Pro system tries
to connect to the server:

[2007/03/28 14:47:01, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(1229)
 getpeername failed. Error was Invalid argument
[2007/03/28 14:47:01, 0] lib/util_sock.c:set_socket_options(261)
 Failed to set socket option SO_KEEPALIVE (Error Invalid argument)
[2007/03/28 14:47:01, 0] lib/util_sock.c:set_socket_options(261)
 Failed to set socket option TCP_NODELAY (Error Invalid argument)
[2007/03/28 14:47:01, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(1229)
 getpeername failed. Error was Invalid argument
[2007/03/28 14:47:01, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(534)
 read_data: read failure for 4 bytes to client 0.0.0.0 Error =
Connection refused

Please note:
 - all systems, XP Pro and Sun, are on the same subnet - same switch
 - other XP Pro boxes connect to the shares on this server just fine
 - on the problem XP Pro system when I try to use the "Add Network
Place Wizard" the Sun system shows up in an "Other" catagory - not the
domain listed in the smb.conf file
 - I have tried both "smb ports = 139" and "smb ports = 445" on the
server to no avail - the problem XP box still can't connect to the
shares.

Frankly, I don't think it is the Samba server - rather I think it is
something about how the XP Pro system is configured on the domain but
since I don't control the domain I'm flying blind.

Ideas?


Thanks -


Michael
