But as before: root at fileserver:~# smbclient -L athlux lpcfg_do_global_parameter: WARNING: The "encrypt passwords" option is deprecated lpcfg_do_global_parameter: WARNING: The "domain logons" option is deprecated protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_RESET I don't believe it is the samba configuration because I have a similar issue with NFS. "showmount -e athlux" on athlux lists the NFS shares "showmount -e athlux" on fileserver returns "clnt_create: RPC: Unable to receive" athlux can can mount both, nfs-shares as well as samba-shares from athlux and from fileserver. But fileserver can't mount anything from athlux I can ssh into both machines as I like. So network configuration must be ok. "iptables -F" disables my firewall. Maybe there is an service, used by both, samba as well as nfs but not from ssh. This service could be broken? Br Matthias

Other than that, I do not feel that I can offer any further help on this problem. Rowland
