smbclient failing due to switch MAC addr table timeout
3.0.21c on RHEL3.
I use smbclient to transfer files from Samba to WIN PCs, name resolution is
through bcast on local LAN.
The network is not managed by me, all PC's are connected through switches
(no routers).
Sometimes ago network admins started decreasing the MAC addr table timeout
in the switches setting it to 300 secs, this increased dramatically the
chances a MAC is not in the switch
