i just had the weirdest problem with two computers. both use windows:
user in computer A has to execute a program that's in a network drive that maps a shared folder in computer B. when user executes it, computer A can't reach computer B. it stops answering ping, but it works correctly again after a few minutes
i checked and in fact computer B is receiving the icmp packets. it just ignores them. why would this be? i found out that computer B starts ignoring computer A's packets after it denies access to the share a few times (computer A tried to 'tree connect' and computer B would deny access). then computer A closes session, sends a packet with the RST flag and that's when computer B starts ignoring computer A packets. this is the weirdest thing i've ever came across.
another thing is that other computers do the same (executing that binary) and they work fine. it's just this computer that won't work. and it does a weird thing that the other computers don't: it doesn't tries to authenticate as 'computerA\user' but it sends '\' instead, which i think is called a null authentication. i tried to explicitly make it authenticate as 'computerA\user'. i don't use windows and i don't know what's happening here. it's very weird
