I'm still trying to figure this out, but, what puzzles me is what 
caused things to change. It was working perfectly. It could easily 
be some Windows update as well as some Samba update, I suppose. 
I've tried to google this issue, but most hits I'm getting are old 
and talk about an smbclient update being the culprit... If this 
were an update caused problem, one would presume that others would 
be having the issue...
