[Samba] SMB2 Negotiate Request

[Mike Smith]

Thanks for the reply. I have set "max protocol = smb2" and I can use the 
SMB2 protocol fine. I'll try and explain my issue better:

When I say "negotiate request" and I talking about the packets that are 
sent between the client and server. The SMB2 protocol is driven by 
requests from the client and responses from the server. The very first 
packet that is sent from client to server contains a header and a 
message (SMB2_NEGOTIATE) that tells the server what dialects of the 
protocol the client understands.

When I send this packet the samba server does not respond to it, and I 
time out.  Windows 7 responds to this packet as expected.

If I use a SMB packet (instead of SMB2) and use that to negotiate a SMB2 
connection, it will work, but what I want to know is if there is a 
reason it's not responding the the SMB2 packet as it (apparently) should.

Mike
