I had similar problems with a general network share. discovered that one of my ethernet cards was running full-duplex and the hub was only running half-duplex the config above also hurt network performance drastically -Mike mjoyner@ewc.edu Edward Waters College PC Systems Administrator --- Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1998 17:09:51 +0100 (CET) From: Alexander Ehlert <ehlert@anatu.uni-tuebingen.de> To: samba@samba.org Subject: Problem with exported Optical Drive Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.3.96.981216170035.13152E-100000@mail.anatom.uni-tuebingen.de> Hi, I'm using Samba quiet a while and never had a problem I couldn't solve for myself. Now I've got one :) Everytime I write files > 30 MB on my exported Fujitsu M2513A Windows is terminating with "Network share is no longer available". The Windows progress indicator shows nothing, but the file is written and then discarded (after the error message) ! Now I've set the following options for the MO-Share oplocks = false strict locking = yes strict sync = yes sync always = yes and the file will be saved on the disk. But the error message still remains. Any ideas? Alex
