I have been mounting a Windows share for years. Since I 'apt-get dist-upgrade'
my
Debian 'wheezy' testing yesterday (Wed Jan 4th 2012), I cannot mount it

The share used to be mounted automatically being is /etc/fstab using a
credential file. This does not work anymore. But I aslo tried to mount it
manually calling mount, and mount.cifs using interactive password prompts, and
even trying smbclient without success.
smbclient and cifs-utils are using very different approaches, so if it
fails for both, it's very probably a bug somewhere else.
The error returned by mount.cifs is:
mount error(115): Operation now in progress
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I have another Debian 'wheezy' testing system that I did not 'apt-get
dist-upgrade'. This system can mount the same Windows share. This latter
is still using cifs-utils 5.1.
Ok, so it's not problem at the Windows side.
I had a look at the changelog for the 5.2 release, but it did not trigger
anything meaningfull for me.
I guess next is looking bottom up a.k.a. can you ping the Windows server
from the host failing to access the share? Is the traffic not filtered
in between? If those are not the problem a network capture via wireshark
might be useful to debug it further.
Yes I can ping the server. There's no traffic filter, and on top of
this, both systems accessing the server are on the same switch and subnet.
Following your good advice, I started wireshark, and discovered that the
DNS searched was not correct! Indeed, during the upgrade, I was proposed
to enter missing domain DNS information for my system. A made a typo. It
looks that it's what blocked the cifs mounting.
What I don't explain is why using directly the IP address in the mount
command did not work if it was only a DNS domain name error?
Anyway, you can close the issue, with my apologies.
Thanks for your time.
Best regards
Didier
