In my case -- same symptoms (attempted connection via TCP port 80), there
were over 200 6to4 adapters which I removed and then was able to connect
to samba share.

IIRc I have seen Windows trying to use port 80 and webdav when no port
139/445 was available.
Only from the graphical shell though. This is not done at the redirector
level, but up the stack when the machine can't be found using SMB.
Simo.
