Hi fellow Amanda users,

I'm having a problem backing up one of my Windows 2000 boxes with
amanda and smbclient.  It's a Compaq Deskpro EXM 815 with a SMC EZ
Card 10/100 1211TX NIC.  I'm backing up several other Win2k boxes
fromthe same Amanda server and smbclient fine.  This machine has 
never backed up.

What happens is that when it starts the backup, everything works fine
for a while, then it just hangs.  Both machines (the amanda server
and the Win2k problem client) are still usable and able to
communicate on the network.  Ethereal and tcpdump show that there is 
no SMB data being sent between these two machines after it hangs.  
I can still ping, telnet, start a new smbclient, etc. between the 
boxes, but the original smbclient is hung.  The sendbackup and 
smbclient processes still show up in the process table.

Also, when I run smbclient ... -T... manually, the same thing 
happens. So maybe I'm posting to the wrong list because maybe this is 
a smbclient problem?

I'm using amanda 2.4.2p2, samba 2.2.1a, and GNU tar version 1.13.19 
running on Red Hat 7.2 (2.4.7-10).

Following is an excerpt from /tmp/amanda/sendbackup.*.debug
