weird samba error

Hi all.

Running sid, 2.6.22-2-686 #1 SMP, i686, updated daily.

The following worked for me last week as part of my anacron-launched backup: [/etc/fstab]
//Iomega-XXXXXX/NetHDD /mnt/storage smbfs noauto,password="" 0 0

This morning, it failed. When I try to mount /mnt/storage, I get a bizarre failure where samba is trying to connect to 66.150.2.134, which is vznassist.infospace.com. If I specify the IP address (192.168.1.101, via DHCP), it works.

If I try to use smbclient, or mount.smbfs, directly, I get similar behavior, though not the same IP address. I haven't seen anything in the strace from mount that seems to be of any help: readlink("/Iomega-XXXXXX", 0xbfe1b8fb, 4096) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/sbin/mount.smbfs", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=884820, ...}) = 0 clone(child_stack=0,
flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0xb7d4e6f8) = 29709
wait4(-1, Error connecting to 63.251.179.13 (Connection refused) 29709: Connection to Iomega-XXXXXX failed SMB connection failed

Also,

Any ideas?
