samba - Mar 2001 - Time out From Win98 to Samba 2.0.7 Share

I have a user (Win98 SE) that will open a file (take for example, a
Quickbooks file) on a Samba share (RH6.2/Samba 2.0.7) and enter stuff into
it.  After a while, it says the connection was lost to the server, and when
they try to open the file again, it says it's locked by the same user.

I checked the log files on the server, and I get connection reset by peer
errors in the workstation's log file.

[2001/03/06 14:05:13, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_data(477)
read_socket_data: recv failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer

This also happens when opening and using any file, including MS Access and
Excel files.  I don't think it's anything the user is doing, at first I
thought the connection was timing out to the server, but it's set to 0 for
dead time (no connection closing), and I put keep alive to 60 seconds.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, here's by smb.conf:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 10.10.10.51 (10.10.10.51)
# Date: 2001/03/06 15:53:51

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = KIETRA
        netbios name = FS1
        server string = Samba Server
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 0
        keepalive = 60
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        dns proxy = No
        wins support = Yes

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        writeable = Yes
        browseable = No

[shared]
        comment = Public Share Folder
        path = /share
        writeable = Yes
        guest ok = Yes

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

Thanks,

Hi Matt,
This message means that literally, for some reason, the win98 pc sent a tcp
ack
back to the serverside socket with the tcp 'reset' flag set.  I've
seen
WinNT clients
do this on another 3rd party SMB server when it received what it considered
a badly formatted smb request/response. You might try removing the
SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 parameters in your smb.conf file - another
individual on this list had some success with this in a similar instance.
Good luck,
Don
