Yeah, that's how I interpreted it; and I found some discussion about
people who were actively trying to do things with multiple shares, but
that's not what I'm doing...

Yes, "some other script or program uses network shares" makes sense as
an explanation but doesn't apply here.  There's nothing else running.
All the 'working' PCs and 'non-working' PCs were deployed from the same
Windows XP disk image and are, aside from minor hardware differences,
identical.

I'm completely flummoxed by this.

[And the thing that *really* confuses the hell out of me is that if I
boot up the PC, change the clock to be (say) 30 minutes slow and reboot;
when the PC boots up next time, WPKG *works* and the clock is
synchronised.  The next boot up after that, though, and WPKG fails to
contact Samba again, with the "multiple connections" error.]

/me decides to go home, having puzzled with this one all day :-/

Cheers,

Dave.
