Well, this didn't fix it, but it resulted in some odd occurances.  After I shut down the e-smith box, server2 was no longer detected by the xp box, yet the e-smith box was still listed (despite me searching for server2).  So, thinking this was a bit strange, I double clicked on the e-smith box in windows explorer...and it gave me the same error message that it's been giving me for this server2 that I've been struggling with!  If this error message is worth much (and windows error messages are not always worth much of anything), it could be a clue that the windows xp home box is detecting server2's name, but when trying to connect, it's as if it's turned off!  I've tried shutting down the iptables firewall, and that doesn't improve things any.  I wonder if the answer could be tcpdump output that I posted?

Thanks again,

Ari
