Hi to everyone, I installed samba 2.0.6 in DECUNIX 3.2-C and I created a service called PUBLIC for export a directory from unix to NT 4.0. In this directory I put a file from unix and a program, called GENTRAN, in NT system get this file. I mount the directory , X: device, with this command in NT: NET USE X: \\10.170.3.1\PUBLIC password /USER:username /PERSISTENT:YES All works fine but if I don't copy a file from unix for many hours and after I copy a new file, the NT system don't get this file until I touch a device X: , in NT , with a simple command, for example DIR. In Unix system , the file log.log in samba directory, I see this message: [2000/02/03 21:36:44, 0] lib/util_sock.c:(474) read_socket_data: recv failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer [2000/02/03 21:36:44, 1] smbd/service.c : (568) pc200 (10.170.3.6) closed connection to service public What can I do?
