Win2K and WinXP will connect simultaneously to ports 139 & 445 and rudely drop 445 when they get what they want from port 139. The logged error is samba simply logging the notice of the fact that the port connection simply dropped communications, nothing more. So if you really don't want these messages in your logs, you can add to the [general] section of smb.conf smb ports = 139 default 'smb ports = 445 139' Craig
