Hi all,

I'm trying to connect a windows box, and ultimately a linux box, to an
AS/400 IFS share at a remote site with no success.

Net View \\Computername reports Error 53, which indicates 'Computer
cannot be located'

On linux, smbclient -L //computername also fails.

A packet trace shows that there is a good connection to the target
machine on port 139 with the session start request, but after twenty
seconds, the connection times out with the following:

session request to COMPUTERNAME failed (Call timed out: server did not
respond after 20000 milliseconds)

The firewall is not reporting any denied packets in it's log.

There aren't any relevant messages in Qsysopr.

Is there a way to view some kind of log on the AS/400 to see why it is
not responding to the session start request?

Thanks.
