Yes.

mrvideo.ZROOT <27> smbclient -NL 192.168.1.1
Connection to 192.168.1.1 failed (Error NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE)
mrvideo.ZROOT <28> ping 192.168.1.1
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.378 ms

Now this is really confusing.  I can run smbclient against 192.168.1.11
from 192.168.1.1 and it connects just fine.

I guess the host unreachable is not what I normally think of being unreachable.
