Hi Nikhil,

This is interesting. I don't think I have ever seen this particular
error before.

If possible, it would be great if you could send the capture to me directly.

That error:

   Invalid operation for ????? service at
jcifs.smb.SmbTree.send(SmbTree.java:100)

means that the client received an SmbComTransaction response
subCommand that JCIFS doesn't understand.

If you can provide a capture, I might be able to tell you more (do not
post packet captures to the mailing list).

Mike
