Hopefully I am submitting this to the correct email list. I have been doing

Recently I lost my hard drive and had to reinstall Debian. I am now getting
these errors in /var/log/syslog and I can't figure out why:
Apr 28 11:57:05 rockenfield kernel: [1479867.192022] CIFS VFS: Server peart
has not responded in 300 seconds. Reconnecting...
The weird thing is that there are no problems. I can view the shares on the
remote Windows machine (peart is WinXP 64 SP2) with no problems whatsoever.
Also my Windows machine can see my samba shares as well, so both directions
work fine and I'm not sure why these messages are occurring.
Here is my /etc/fstab (samba/cifs mounts only, trimmed to applicable
content):

I am running Debian wheezy/testing (7.0). The kernel version is
2.6.38-2-amd64. Samba version is 3.5.8~dfsg-1 (obtained from "dpkg -l |
grep samba"). This is just a home network, so I don't have a Domain
Controller or anything fancy. It's just a Debian box and a WinXP box and
I'm sharing files/directories on each side.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

May be some issues like firewall etc.?
Can you capture wireshark traces on either side and see if you see
any network in response to a mount reuqest from a cifs client?
To be clear...
What sort of host is "peart" here? WinXP?
peart is WinXP 64 SP2, and the Linux machine is running Debian wheezy.
The XP firewall is off and the internet security firewall (Kaspersky
Internet Security) is off.
The firewall thing doesn't make sense, or else it seems to me that I
wouldn't be able to view the remote data. The remote side *always*
works when I view the file share. I have even tried during viewing the
data multiple times during the 5 minute interval where syslog states the
host is not responding. I will capture Wireshark traces though if there
aren't any other suggestions.
Thanks,
