No, it means that your machine is trying to connect to the remote host,
and is getting an ICMP Destination Host Unknown response from a router.
I'd try using tcpdump to determine what host your F7 system is trying to
reach, and then figure out why that's different than what the FC1 system
is doing.
I clearly stated in the O.P. that I have done that, and that ping and
other protocols work, smbtree can see the machine and read the share
names, etc, etc. tcpdup tells me that what's different is the protocol
the FC1 and FC7 are offering to the server. No routers involved just a
GigE switch which works for other protocols and for other machines.
