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.
