This is the first time I see mount failed because reverse DNS lookup
failed. My dumb questions are:

   1. If reverse lookup had been a must, why I hadn't have this problem
      with Linux clients?
   2. Can I turn off reverse lookup on the DNS server? It's impossible
      for me to set up reverse lookup because client is not in the
      network managed by me and I don't see how reverse lookup offered
      better security: because I only export read-only shares!

Looks to me like windows was trying to mount /home instead
of '/home/packman' and that is what it is complaining about.

Did you try to add 218.193.55.201 to hosts file?
