Dear List This is probably not the way to go about getting some help with my problem and if I've screwed up, then I apologise. Here is my problem ... Host is SCO Openserver 5, running Samba 1.9.18p10 to which we've got a mix of Win NT and Win95 clients, this system has been running fine for months, yet over the last few days when a Win95 client trys to use one of the Samba shares you get a message stating the following:- " Start -> Run then \\host" I get "An extended error has occured" or using Win95 Explorer results in "\\host is not accessable the network is busy" this only happens from Win95 clients, Win NT works fine every time, any ideas? One other thing that may help is if I use the "net use * \\host\sharename" from a dos window I get the following message:- "Error 54: The network is currently busy processing other requests or it is out of resources. Try again later"... blah blah One thought I had was is there is some sort of timeout occuring seeing as NT works fine. Any views greatly appreciated thank you. chris chris edwards chris.edwards@tnsofres.com
