We recently upgraded our main file server from a PIII to a P4 with raid as well as did a fresh install of RedHat 9 leaving the old server intact. Most everything went well, I copied all the config files over for the different services and got samba running successfully. I tested connecting to from different win boxes using 98, 98SE, NT4, and 2K, they all were able to browse files and print successfully so I took the old server down. Later I discovered one of our 2K machines was having trouble logging on. It wasn't the 2K box I tested before which still works fine. The box is able to authenticate to the nt domain, but sometimes it fails to find the server for d/l the roaming profile which is the same server it authenticated to. Even when it successfully logs on (which is almost instant when it works), I can browse the network shares on the server, but looking into the shares is extremely slow and after looking through a couple of folders, the 2K box no longer can even see the server or any other computers at all. I can look at other computers and even the old server just fine before the network stops working. I've tried stringing a long cable from the computer down to the server and using a different ethernet switch. I even tried installing 2K on a fresh hd and sticking it in the box with the exact same results. The pressures building to get that box working again and I'm getting completely stumped. The old server was RedHAt 7.3 was a vanilla install of samba-2.2.7a from source and the new server is RedHat 9 using redhat's version of samba 2.2.7a. I also tried upgrading to samba 3.0 and got same results. -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside.
