[Samba] SMB Multichannel not working?

[Carter Sheehan]

Rowland,

Here are a few screenshots of the protocol negotiation packets between my client (172.27.252.57) and my Samba server (172.27.252.11): https://imgur.com/a/nXk3QRV

In the screenshots, there is an initial SMB request from the client (no capabilities specified), an SMBv2 reply from the server stating it does NOT support multi channel, a 2nd request from the client (now in SMBv2 protocol), and an SMBv2 reply from the server saying it supports multichannel. The two replies from the server contradict one another. The "Session Request" packets after the protocol negotiations show the session request did not have multichannel enabled. I suspect this is because the client saw the first protocol negotiation reply that said the server did not support multichannel and so the client did not enable multichannel in it's request for a session.

You could do what everyone else does, post them somewhere and provide a
link.

Also I don't think a screenshot is going to do.
