Samba Server is setup without Firewall rules. 
it is working fine but with one problem. 
When client want to acces the Samba Client from Win98, WinME They get the error msgs.
Network is Busy

the weird thing is that when i manage to acces the server once, It will "always" work.
As if it is an Identification problem.  In the Newsgroup i have read it may be a DNS error?

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Reboot the client. 
2. Try to connect to Samba Server, May have difficulties to connect (see files or map Drive)
3.After Couple of try, it will finanaly manage to get thrue and it will work for rest of the day
	

Here is a Log from a client.log in /var/log/samba

Which samba version ?
Have you tried the newest errata ?
It often helps to log out as user in windows and re-login again.

I have had similar behaviour on a system that was upgraded to the newest 2.0.8 
RPM.  It had previously been working perfectly with the 2.0.7 release.  
Downgrading to 2.0.7 fixed the problem.

Problem is SOLVED.

Basically, SAMBA -IGNORES- the WINS server for login authentication
no matter how you specify it in the config file. Therefore you have to have EVERY IP listed in /etc/hosts.
If you're using DHCP like I am then you don't know what hostname an IP will be - but you can either leave it blank
or use any name,SAMBA doesn't care.  Nice huh?  I forces the verification but then
doesn't care if it verifies to anything or not.  

I would like to Thanks : David L. Jarvis   DJarvis
