I am trying to put some DOS clients to access a samba server. I try to use the Microsoft Network Client 3.0 and the Microsoft Lan Manager. With them I can log into the samba server, and use the conection as normal. But when i use it with a high data transfer, somebody, the client or the samba server disconnect. Somebody have any experience with dos clients? Thank you in advance Maurizio Faccio ________________________ Ing. Maurizio Faccio Merbe Ltda. Av. Italia 2348.

I run an application made in Clipper. The program says Write error, or things like that. In the logs Here I post some of the log errors . Desc2 is the DOS client.

We need to know why the client is doing this. Try setting sendfile to "no", as DOS clients might not be able to cope with the data rate from a modern kernel. Jeremy.
I've upgrade my samba version to the 3.0.21c, and i got the same. Suddenly when the DOS program heavily write to the shared disk, the connection goes silently down I've try use sendfile=no, and the same [2006/03/11 18:21:59, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(885) desc2 (192.168.0.18) closed connection to service datos Thank you in advance Maurizio Faccio> ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jeremy Allison" <jra@samba.org> > To: "Maurizio Faccio" <Maurizio.Faccio@merbe.com.uy> > Cc: "Jeremy Allison" <jra@samba.org>; <samba@samba.org> > Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 12:50 PM > Subject: Re: [Samba] Dos client samba > > > > On Wed, Mar 08, 2006 at 09:35:05AM -0300, Maurizio Faccio wrote: > > > I try the same application in the DOS box against a WIN9x share and It > runs > > > ok.

Just a question from an archaic person who up to now has used Word Perfect 5.0 (WP 5.0). Just now I'm slowly moving from WP 5.0 to OpenOffice with Corel from 1999 as a neccesarry transformer. I'm still using Windows as the platform, and their latest version XP at least let me read WP.5.0 in their "C\:"... But: If I one day take the full step into Open Source, that means also a Linux-related platform, then I probably will ned Samba as a "mediator" between DOS and this platform, so I will have the possibility to read WP 5.0 in Linux. Is this idea right? And will Sesam manage to read the old WP 5.0 program and convert it to the Linux platform? Yours KES
