-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Having a workstation with an odd glitch, and I'm hoping someone can help. We have a 35MB shared Excel file with our purchasing history in it. (I know, I've been trying to talk them into a database of some sort, but they'll have none of that...) One workstation in the entire plant is having issues opening it. The file will load, it will change status to [Shared] in the titlebar, then stop. Bad Workstation: Windows 2000 Athlon 1600+ 256MB DDR 333 Soyo Dragon KT333 Ultra Black Realtek 8139 on-board (Also tried PCI 8139) Server: Debian Stable 2x Opteron 240 Broadcom "tg3" 1000Mb NIC Samba 3.0.7-1 as a PDC Network: Phoebe Micro 24+2 10/100/1000 Switches, daisychained via GbE over Gigabit-rated Cat5e. If I copy the file over to the local drive and open it, it works fine. It's only when I open it off of the share that it locks up. It also works fine with the same user at a different Windows 2000 workstation. The only clue I have to go on at this point is two (out of multiple attempts) error lines in my logfile for that machine: (Third attempt today:) lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_data(384) read_socket_data: recv failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer (Fifth attempt today:) lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_data(384) read_socket_data: recv failure for 4. Error = No route to host None of the other attempts have generated any errors at log level = 1. I had the Connection reset by peer message before, and never came up with any solution, it just eventually went away. This time it isn't. - -- Chad Vincent RhiannonWeb chad@rhiannonweb.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCG4vnkDjwkvrkkmURAnwrAJ9SdUellT3BZx3FUI5HCevR5vBIgACdHQMU m+RSquVyLpwp7W0XIDRZnd8=Pynn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

There have been several fixes in this area to do with the rather strange way Excel uses SMB. None of them should cause the client to disconnect, although a deferred open problem could conceivably do this. It's just that many people are reporting much better results with Excel and 3.0.11. Jeremy.
I have the same issue running 3.0.9. Only some users report the problem however. Steve Aden IS Manager ITS Communications Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message.
