Guys,

  My first post, sorry it's not just an intro - I've got a problem I need your help on too!  I'm seeing an excessive number of the following packets and wondered if you could give me some guidance on what they are and whether they're expected traffic (I'm sure they're not)

 

Packet type #1

Protocol: SMB

Info: Trans2 Response<unknown>

 

Packet type #2

Protocol: SMB

Info: NT Trans response, Unknown

 

  I'm getting these form a Windows 2003 server to Windows XP clients.  Definitely looks like it floods in.  I also get a fair few of the following:

 

Packet type #3

Protocol: SMB

Info: Trans2 Response<unknown>, Error: STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND

 

  Can you shed any light?  Oh, and Hi everyone - glad to join the Ethereal fan club :-)

 

Dave.
