Ubuntu 16.04.3 I installed a bunch of upgrades over the weekend. I am getting the following error now when attempting to connect to the Samba domain from a Windows client:

"The semaphore timeout period has expired"

testparm produced no errors and I made no changes to smb.conf. Samba Version 4.3.11-Ubuntu

It appears that something in the upgrade change some network settings. The mailserver on the same machine does not seem to be responding either.

Remoiving courier and reinstall postfix and sqwebmail seems to have resolved the issue. Still not sure what caused the problem.
