Don't have telnet or ftp running, but I'm able to browse the samba shares just fine. > If it's a network level problem, then some more info about your topology > might be helpful.

One Windows box is on a different subnet but the same (layer3) switch, one is on a different switch but same subnet, and the FreeBSD boxes (3 of them) are on the same switch and subnet. > PS I assume you've tried your error message through google? Yup - lots of hits, but not much meat. Kurt
