A Warning level message received about an hour ago: MrxSMB -- The redirector failed to determine the connection type. The warning timestamp doesn't correspond to any of the failures from earlier today. > This all (granted from fuzzy Win2K reporting) that from a loss of > connectivity has occured. The trick is if its hardware / media related, > or DNS timeout related. I found a 3C966B that I can use to eliminate the possiblity of NIC failure. DNS timeout related? Other interesting tidbits of info to confuse the matter: DHCP NBT nodetype is set to h-node (hybrid) WINS database doesn't show all computers. Corrupt database? I would assume that if NetBIOS resolution failed for samba, it would look to DNS for resolution.
