please provide a level 10 debug log. Thanks.
Here is the log concerning this problem. http://bogus.harlaut.net/samba/smb-connectionlost-log.zip We now fully reproduce the problem, but only with Windows 2000 SP4 Client. Win 98, NT, and 2003 are not concerned. what's more, Samba 2.2.8 is concerned too ! (?) We haven't tested yet with other SP than SP4. Hope this helps ....
t is not a Samba bug :-) We do not have to find the problem but the problem is specific to the map drive (F:,G:,..) During the copy removal of files a red cross is on the map drive and the connection is loss (Error message Windows) The reproductibility of probleme is : Windows 98 ==> No problem Windows NT (SP3) ==> No problem Windows XP pro SP2 ==> No problem Windows 2000 SP4 on the Dell Optiplex GX 260 ==> Alway Windows 2000 on the other computer ==> No problem (same SP4 and Hotfix on the Dell..!) Windows 2003 ==> No problem We do not have used the map drive on then Dell and Windows 2000 SP4 ! Thank you for your assistance
Thanks for the update. I'm assuming that both or you work together since your email's are from the same domain. Closing.
