Some of the computers in our network keep having trouble connecting to
samba
I was able to restore the connectivity by placing the computer and IP
address in the host file.
Immediately after that the client was able to connect. It is my
understanding that when Samba is
using WINS if the WINS server fails to respond within a certain length
of time then these are the types
of errors I will get. Is there somewhere in the smb.conf file that I
can extend the length of time before
it times out? Or is there another problem causing this ?
We have this problem intermitently and it appears to be predominantly a
problem with W9x and W2K.
I don't remember having this type of problem with any of the NT
computers, but about once a month
users on W9x and W2K will start complaining that they are having
problems connecting.
I'm not sure whether to blame this on WINS, Samba or the network in
general.
Is there a document that would help me understand these error messages?
