When attempting to mount a Win9x share with fstype=cifs, Ethereal trace shows the session request going out with server name SMBSERVER instead of the NetBIOS name supplied with the mount command. A look at the source (.../fs/cifs/connect.c) shows connection attempts on port 445 occurs first (new SMB over TCP/IP for WinXP/2K, etc.), which is rejected because the Win9(8) client is not listening on that port. Then a connect attempt on port 139 (old SMB over TCP/IP for Win9x), which succeeds. Conditional session setup request for port 139 going to called server name SMBSERVER*. Ethereal trace confirms this behavior. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
