It's just saying that the server disconnected and smb_retry reconnected. Also, smbfs is a client, but being visible to windows boxes is a server thing (nmbd & smbd) so you should look at the logs for those. A wild guess is that you have some firewall rules blocking the traffic. I assume that the linux router you speak of is on the same network as the win2k boxes and that it is the one you can't see? Otherwise I believe it won't work without wins servers, remote announce and other samba magic. /Urban
