Hmm, it may be that just a few servers are affected here. we have one important server which appears to have a weird DNS setup: dig +short -t A server.domain.net 172.100.10.25 dig +short -t CNAME server.domain.net (NORESPONSE) dig +short -t PTR -x 172.100.10.25 c10203.domain.net dig +short -t A c10203.domain.net (NORESPONSE) While this is quite obviously broken, Windows clients in the domain have no problems accessing this server, while Linux clients do. The only temporary workaround I found for this is to add c10203 to /etc/hosts locally and mount the share as "//c10203/share" (//c10203.domain.net/share does *not* work). This is samba 3.5.8, kernel 2.6.38.6-27.fc15 on Fedora 15. > Do your linux users mount by IP address perhaps? No, see above.
