Hi, I have a problem with NT stations, both 3.51 and 4.0 - mapping network drives on a Sun Sparc running Solaris and samba 1.9.17p4. Drive connects can take a very long time and sometimes won't map at all or time out. I have worked through the diagnosis steps posted on the samba web site. Everything works up until test 8, which says to do net view \\servername. If I put in just the short host name, without the full domain name, I get system error 53 network path not found. If I put in the full hostname, net view works but only shows the one share that defaults to the user's home directory, not two other shares that are set up in smb.conf. One other set of symptoms is that when an NT 4.0 (SP3) station is trying to map a samba drive at login, it will hang with the hourglass for >30 sec. When the NT station is in this delay limbo, if I run netstat -a on the Sparc it also hangs. No results from netstat -a until the NT drive is mapped. I would upgrade samba, but we have 1.9.17p2 running on a pentium here and those drive connections work flawlesly. I'd like to be able to match that performance on the Sun. Thanks much for any tips on how to troubleshoot this, Dan Fiscus -- Dan Fiscus email: fiscus@al.umces.edu Research Assistant phone: (301) 689-3115 ext. 103 University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Appalachian Laboratory Gunter Hall Frostburg State University Frostburg, MD 21532
