mrxsmb, 3019, redirector, failed, connection
When copying a file or files to or from a shared folder on either one of my w2k3 servers I usually get this warning in the event log:

Event Type:      Warning
Event Source:      MRxSmb
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      3019
Description: The redirector failed to determine the connection type.

Data:
0000: 00 00 00 00 04 00 4e 00   ......N.
0008: 00 00 00 00 cb 0b 00 80   ....Ë..€

0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   ........

I've read almost everything there is to find on this error. The shared folders I am copying to and from aren't mapped, so it's not a problem with 'net use'. It's not a problem with a poor connection because there is not much traffic and the servers are plugged into the same switch.  I don't think it's a driver issue because it's happening on two different servers with two completely different NIC cards (plus I've tried a second NIC card in one of the servers). I know one of Mircosoft's KB articles says that "They have confirmed it is a problem" and "This can be safely ignored", but it's happening almost every time, and it's cluttering my logs. If indeed these errors are only being caused by a flaw in the operating system, is there really no hotfix for this? Does anyone know of anything else I can try?
