Hello all, I receive some errors which I cannot explain : Hopefully there's someone who can help me. When I type: "smbclient -L 10.33.6.180" I get: Session Request to 10.33.6.180 failed (code 0) Session Request to 10 failed (code 0) Session Request to *SMBSERVER failed (code 0) What does code 0 mean? Log.smb shows problems with socket-options: But I haven't changed these options and they used to work fine. Has anyone seen this problem / any ideas?
