I am using Samba on a FreeBSD 5.4 machine. I just updated to the newest version of Samba (3.0.21b,1) available in the ports system. The old version was working fine, but since there were a number of ports that I had that were out dated, I simply updated them all. The problem is that Samba does not appear to be working correctly now. I can access the FreeBSED machine from any of the WinXP machines without incident. However, the reverse is not true. I have tried running the following command which produces this output: smbclient -L boss -U username%password timeout connecting to 192.158.0.4:445 timeout connecting to 192.158.0.4:139 Error connecting to 192.158.0.4 (Operation already in progress) Connection to boss failed Absolutely nothing has changed other than the updating of Samba and a few other ports -- mostly KDE. The WinXP machines are untouched. There is no new firewall involved, etc. -- Gerard Seibert gerard@seibercom.net
