Hi, I was just reading your post: I've got a network running XP, 98SE, a Xbox and linux running Samba 2.2.8a (most of the time all together). in the windows neighbourhood, everything is fine, every one see each other and right shares. Here is my problem : I'm running XBMP on the Xbox, which is capable to access SBM shares to play video and music. But when I'm watching a video located on my linux box, the streaming stops (and the console crashes) after exactly 8 minutes. It's only the case with my linux box. My important samba settings are, IMO : security = share encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 and no passwd file (the line smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd is commented) the log produces regularly this line (with loglevel 3): nmbd/nmbd_responserecordsdb.c:find_response_record(235) find_response_record: response packet id 23310 received with no matching record. what is the problem ? I was wondering if you have solved the problem yet, because I get the same thing. If so, please describe your solution. Thanks Jonathan Cerrone
