There are two NT servers: serverA and serverB. serverB has a dns entry and serverA doesn't. both have host entries on my freebsd machine. when I ping serverB, i get a response right away. when I ping serverA, ping hangs for a while and then responds. when I ping serverA with serverA's ip, i get a response right away. when I use rumba to try and mount shares from serverB, i get this error. Kernel: smb_receive_raw: Invalid packet 0x83 Kernel: smb_receive: receive error: -5 Kernel: smb_proc_connect: Failed to send SESSION REQUEST. error connecting to server: [5] Input/output error when I use rumba to try and mount shares from serverA, i connect just fine. when I use rumba to try and mount shares from serverA's ip address, i get the same error. So here's the correlation, if I can ping the nt server (because there is dns entry or i'm using the ip address) without a hitch, I have trouble mounting shares. If i have trouble pinging the nt server (it doesn't have a dns entry), I can mount it after rumba hangs about a minute or so.
