Error code -50 when connecting to a Windows Share

When I attempt to connect to a SMB/CIFS share I get a dialog box indicating that an unexpected error occurred and that error code is -50. It never even gets to the point where it prompts me for a name, domain, or password. Here's some information from the Console.

mount_smbfs: negotiate phase failed: syserr = Invalid argument

I used to be able to connect to this share without a problem in the past. I do not know what changed. I can still connect to the shares using a Windows client.

The SMB/CIFS share is shared by a Solaris box running Syntax's TAS software. I can connect to other SMB shares on other Solaris boxes running the same software. There's only one share that I'm having trouble with.

I don't control the TAS software and I don't think I can get much help from our administrators since they don't support OS X and Windows clients work perfectly.

Thanks,
Ryan
