samba - Nov 2002 - Win2k(IIS5) + Samba weirdness

Hi all;

I don't know if this is a specificly a Samba problem, so appologies if 
this is a little OT. Anyhow, I have a Windows 2000 Server (SP2) running 
IIS5 hosting a number of web sites. The content itself is housed on a 
RH 7.1 Linux box running Samba 2.2.2, which Windows mounts. 

Now, occasionly when going anywhere beneath the root of a web site
IIS reports a 404 error (NTFileMon confirms this too, that the file 
cannot be found) even though the file does exist.

Now, when this happens, the only fix appears to be to browse to the root 
of the site. Then all content (even the one that gave a 404 initialy) work 
perfectly.

Running TCPdump I can clearly see TCP 135 and 139 being sent from the 
Windows box to the Linux Machine, but I can't seem to get anything useful 
out of Samba.

Has anyone on this list witnessed such weird behaviour between IIS and 
Samba before?

TIA

--Brent

Hi when 404 state is try run smbstatus on linux samba and read if yuor mount
exist and is not disconected...
When not exist then w2k or samba disconect your share by inactivity timeout.
When you browse it w2k reconect automaticaly.
Reason is set diferent timeout or periodicaly script check of share on w2k
and this is not disconect...
