Ok, I have narrowed down the possible problem.
"net view \\servername" usually fails
"net view \\10.10.10.1" works every time
So I assume there is a DNS and/or WINS problem.
But how do I narrow that down now? I can do a
ping/nslookup on the "servername", no problems.
We are in a workgroup environment, all using the
same workgroup name, and there is no WINS server.
Thanks,
Scott Moseman

This is the error clients sometimes receive:
"No service is operating at the destination
network endpoint on the remote system."
We removed the "socket options" from the config.
We added the local IPs into the /etc/hosts file.
Machines that may have connectivity to Samba are
working away without a problem, while people who
are just trying to connect may get that message.
We have not figured out why some people get this
error while others are able to browse Samba okay.
Thanks,

Red Hat 7.2
Samba 2.2.1
Recently configured Samba, and I am the only user
right now while I review out the server integrity.
I mapped a drive to my Samba share, it works fine.
But occasionally, when I come into work, I have to
endure a couple timeouts trying to connect to the
Samba server until it works. Sometimes when I get
to the office it works fine on the first connect.
Is there a config option I should look at using?
This is the only option in the config which I am
not sure what it does (copied from a sample):
(Maybe this is wrong and/or needs adjustment?)
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
Thanks,
