I am now getting only one error message and it seems that all 3 Ubuntu
machines are having the same problem with each other -- somehow I missed
that I suppose because I'm moving my network into a Linux only network.

ANYWAY, the error I'm now getting from the 3 Ubuntu machines is :

"connection to (machine name) failed (Error
NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)"

I used "machine nane" to refer to the 3 Ubuntu machines which are
"star", "cic2ext", and "Ubuntu".
