I noticed that when I am trying to attach to a samba share from a Win2k machine, it sends ICMP packets, then a packet to port 445 (which is secure smb?) then the regular packet. Why does it send the ICMP packets first? Is there a way to have it not send the secure smb packet? OR How do I use the secure smb? Thanks. Mike. BTW, great job on this samba stuff. I really like it!
