You are right. I now see the problem, but who to blame ;-)

For information, when netbios on a windows server is disabled port 139 
is not accessible and "smbclient" tries to connect to port 139, this is 
why it returns and error "Connection to pc-aw1 failed (Error 
NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)".
This does not seem to be a problem to mount drives in samba world, but I 
guess Gollem test return error codes, so fails.

As soon as I re-enable netbios on the windows server, I don't get any 
errors and Gollem works 100%.

I find it strange that Samba haven't fixed this, but I don't see any 
bugs about it. I will ask them to see if they think it is a bug or feature!


Thanks,

Andrew
