I am having problems with Samba. Things have been working I think but they aren't now. We have 2 class C addresses, one doesn't seem to be having as many problems as the other. When folks on the 207 side try to connect to Samba shares they can usually but right now are failing and getting a network busy error. The file called log. which appears to be a system log file for samba says: 03/24/98 12:17:12 changed root to / priming nmbd sending a packet of len 1 to (127.0.0.1) on port 137 of type DGRAM Gethostbyaddr failed for 207.32.33.xxx 03/24/98 12:17:12 Transaction 0 of length 72 netbios connect: name1=MAPLE name2=GW2KxxxA In the log log.GW2KxxxA says it is trying to connect at the time. Previously a reboot fixed this problem at least temporarily but not this time. Anyone have any ideas where to look?
I'm running a Redhat Linux 6.1 server with Samba 2.0.7 and 7 Win95/98 clients connected through a brand new 10/100 switch. We thought that the problem was being caused by too much traffic for our old hub to handle but the the switch has had no effect. My users have been having a lot of trouble logging in and mapping Samba shares on Windows 9x. (we map the /server/homes directory to p: and /server/docs directory to z: with "net use p: \\server\homes /yes") If everyone logs on at relatively the same time (which they do) only the first person to log on gets their mappings (sometimes). Everyone else fails. The problem is inconsistent. Sometimes no one gets a drive mapping. Sometimes a couple people get one mapping, etc. The win9x machines are set to share-level access control, not logging onto a WinNT domain, quick logon, primary network logon is Windows logon, all set to 10 Mbps half-duplex, subnet 255.255.255.0, Wins server points to the server, gateway points to the server, dns host is user name, domain is our isp, domain servers point to our isp, workgroup is "workgroup". The server is registering on the switch as 100 Mbps full-duplex. I don't know if that makes a difference. <smb.conf> [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = POWEREDGE server string = POWEREDGE hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127. printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes guest account = nobody log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 security = user encrypt passwords = yes password level = 0 smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 local master = yes os level = 65 domain master = no preferred master = no domain logons = no name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast wins support = yes dns proxy = no share modes = yes locking = yes create mask = 0777 force create mode = 0777 directory mask = 0777 force directory mode = 0777 [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes writable = yes read only = no [public] comment = Public path = /public read only = no writable = yes public = yes create mode = 0775 [docs] comment = docs path = /public/docs public = yes writable = yes create mode = 0775 <end of smb.conf> selected lines of <log.user> [2000/11/15 16:40:16, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(537) write_socket_data: write failure.

All, Please help. I am trying to enable a share from a server with an IP address of 172.2.xxx.xxx to a server with an IP address of 10.100.xxx.xxx. They are both on my WAN, and I have complete access to both, yet I get an error 53 when trying to browse the 172 machine from the 10 machine. I'm sure it's just one parameter change, I just can't find it. TIA Dave Shep
All, Sorted, it was to do with the WINS / lmhosts entry. Sorry to have bothered you.

Recently upgraded to samba225 on a number of Sun servers. All has gone well until the final platform. The main issue is new connections, I keep getting error: smbd[1977]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Couldn't find free connection. I assume thins is simple tunning parameter I have not set or set too low. Can anyone point me in the right direction please.
