Samba 3.0.x vs Wind2K3 = "no network found"

I recently upgraded the main departmental server of a client of mine to
SuSE Linux 9.3, which came with Samba version 3.0.12-5. Previously it
would have been running some 2.x version of Samba. After this, users on
machines running Windows 2003 Server could no longer mount their shares
on the Linux box.

The message displayed on the Windows was "The drive could not be mapped
because no network was found". On the Samba side, the log file messages
were like

[2005/07/22 17:24:31, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(1150)
getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected

XP users were still fine. (Don't ask me why users had to use Wind2003 as
a client--something to do with terminal server access.)

I tried the SuSE update to Samba 3.0.13-1.1, and also pulled down the
latest official 3.0.14a release from samba.org and built and installed
that, but nothing helped. Finally I downloaded 2.2.9, being the last
release of 2.x, and after installing that, all was right again.

Has anyone else encountered something similar?

There have been some defaults changing in smb.conf from 2.x to 3.x.
I would suggest taking this to a dedicated samba group
(comp.os.linux.networking.samba as an example) and also posting the global
part of your smb.conf, together with a snippet of your logfile (%m.log)
from a 2k3 box trying to access the server when log level is something like
3-5.

I actually copied across the same smb.conf I had been using with 2.x to
3.x.

Yeah, I might try that next.

Except I can't find any such group.

Mmhm, sorry, I use the "de.*" and thought there should also exist a
international group. Sorry.
Now I only find comp.protocols.smb (looks almost dead these days) and
linux.samba, which is actually a mirror of the samba mailinglist and
moderated, so you can't post a quick question there.
Anyone else?
