samba - Nov 2002 - system error 64, win xp and samba

Just so that it gets into the archives for
future googlers:

If you get 'system error 64' on a windows xp
machine trying to connect to samba, then
make sure you have nothing running on port 445.

I had an apache ssl instance running on that port.

Doh!  Had to scratch my head a bit over it.

XP doesn't actually need anything to be on 445,
it just gets confused and gives up if there is.

Really? The well known port for that is 443.

Port 445 is the port Win2K and WinXP use for netbiosless SMB.
It is the correct well known TCP port that Microsoft have registered for
the purpose.
