I have a FreeBSD 4.10 box with samba 3.04 set up and a Windows XP pro sp1 client. Everything is fine, except every 15 minutes or so for no apparent reason the connection drops and I'm unable to access the server. Then after a few minutes the whole thing starts working again, and 15 minutes or so later, the connection drops again. The problem is pretty similar to <http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2003-December/054339.html> but when I do a "net view \\server" on the winxp-client I get error 53 instead of 2114 (I used to get 2114 error but now it is 53 instead for no particular reason). The document <http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html> says I should go look in MS Knowledge base article 308246 <http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308246> if I recieve error 53.which says i should upgrade my my netbt.sys to > version 5.1.2600.17, but my netbt.sys is version 5.1.2600.1243. Anyone else experience this same problem or even have solved it?
