[Samba] XP Clients loose connection (offline files)
Hi, I have an small network with about 50 Clients. I use Samba4.0alpha14 als PDC and Samba3.5.4 als File- an Printserver on different (virtual) machines. On both machines a bind-dnsserver is running (master and slave). The Samba3-Machine is configured as local master browser and as a domainmember of the samba4-machine. Sometimes WinXP Clients loose connection to the Samba3-Fileserver, connection via Servername is not possible, connecting via IP works fine. So it seems to be a problem with the dns or wins-nameserver to me. I tried to set both Samba-machines as DNS and WINS-Nameserver or only one or the other, nothing solved the problem. Any opinions? here my samba3 smb.conf: ---- [global] ;interfaces = br0 ;bind interfaces only = yes workgroup = MYDOMAIN remote announce = 192.168.73.255 192.168.178.74.255 192.168.75.255 passdb backend = tdbsam admin users = "MYDOMAIN\administrator" printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: log level = 3 usershare allow guests = No add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -$ #domain logons = No password server = theo.mydomain.net domain master = No security = ADS netbios name = Vera server string = Vera wins support = No wins server = theo idmap gid = 10000-20000 idmap uid = 10000-20000 realm = MYDOMAIN.NET template homedir = /home/%D/%U winbind refresh tickets = yes template shell = /bin/bash ----- my samba4-smb.conf ----- [global] server role = domain controller workgroup = MYDOMAIN realm = mydomain.net netbios name = THEO setup directory = /usr/local/samba/share/setup/ server string = Theo ---- In the logs sometimes the following error shows up: [2011/10/12 17:12:52.715255, 3] smbd/service.c:1213(make_connection) __ffff_192.168.178.211 (::ffff:192.168.178.211) couldn't find service anyusername [2011/10/12 17:12:52.715275, 3] smbd/error.c:80(error_packet_set) error packet at smbd/reply.c(776) cmd=117 (SMBtconX) NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME -> But that seems to be a result of the clients to syncronize offline files of a user not logged in...
