Jeff, I fear I'm looking for a needle in a haystack, and I've no idea what the needle looks like. I ran Wireshark on my XP host and repeatedly ran the phpunit tests observing: 1. There really is an awful lot of FIND_FIRST2, Pattern: <blah>, followed immediately by FIND_FIRST2, Files: <blank>. I assume this to be normal. 2. Occassionally and on a random Pattern argumen, a FIND_FIRST2 or QUERY_PATH_INFO is followed immediately not by an SMB level response but by a TCP "microsoft-ds" ACK. The Len is 0 and all other arguments have values. At this point there may be several seconds of delay before SMB re-establishes with a Session Set AndX Request, User: \jgreen then a Tree Connect AndX Request for the mount point being used. It feels as though the XP host itself is simply not returning a response some of the time. Other than changing my password and rebooting the whole lot I can't think of anything I might have done. If you have any further tests you'd like me to perform I'll try to oblige as this is killing my workflow.
