[Samba] Connection issues between Win98 & Samba 2.2.2

Hi all,



All Win98 & Win2k used to be able to connect, but as of last week only
one Win2k is able to access the share folder, but not without a little
issue. Another Win2k in the same subnet have intermittent connection
issue and Win98 is not able to access the folder.



Setup: Samba 2.2.2 install into Solaris8 in a subnet with two other
Win2k server. This subnet is connect to a number of Win98 and one Win2k
server (let call it A) via a Router. For the NetBios name to be
available, we have one Win server in this subnet which all the system is
pointed to.



The Win2k servers on the same subnet sometime can connect and sometime
can't. (50-50)

Using Net View \\IP <file:///\\IP>  or Net View \\hostname
<file:///\\hostname>  sometime show the share and sometime timeout.

Tried using Lmhosts.



All Win98s are not able to connect. But nbtstat -A IP can work



The "A" Win2k server (not on the same subnet) is able to connect most
of
the time, using WINS or Lmhosts. But sometime only via IP and sometime
both, using net view \\IP <file:///\\IP>  or \\NetBios
<file:///\\NetBios> Name to test.

Details:

Net view \\IP <file:///\\IP>   result = all shared folder appear

Net view \\NetBios <file:///\\NetBios> Name = time out

But when I did a nbtstat -a NetBiosName, it work and ping NetBiosName
work too..



But after sometime, Net View \\NetBios <file:///\\NetBios>  work too.



All system seems able to find the samba server, test using ping using IP
or NetBios name.

Checked the WIN server, the Samba server appear..



Using Netstat, it show the PC did connect to the Samba..



Using nbtstat -A or -a, the MAC address is always 00-00-00-00-00



Hope someone can help.

THANKS!!
