similar to: Drop down slowness on mapped drives

For those who have been helping me or following the problem I've had of printing from Win2k (SP2) system to a printer on a Linux (Mandrake 8.1) server through Samba 2.2.1a, I have some good news and information that I hope helps other people. At this point I have established the problem is NOT a printing problem. It's a user/access problem that's connected with using my server

I am getting red crosses on the mapped drives of some win2k pro machines connecting to a samba pdc. I don't have them logging into the domain and the drives are disconnecting (it happens on win2k server too). There is a parameter for win2k server to autodisconnect the drive after 15 minutes which can be changed with: net config server /autodisconnect:TIME and there is a registry key in

Hi! I'm running a RedHat 7.2 server with Samba 2.2.3a - but recently I have a problem that mapped drives on Windows 2000 workstations get disconnected and have problems reconnecting (error message is something like "local device name already in use" when I try to browse the drive in Windows Explorer). Any idea what causes this problem ? Regards, /Brian

Hi Samba team, first I want to appologize for this spam, you probably get tons of such messages per day. However I am desparate and sick of digging into newsgroups, mailing lists and everything else ;)) Since 1 year I am trying to find a way to make samba receive winpopup messages from Windows 2000, or Xp, using the "net send" command. Receiving messages from other linux machines

Hi all, I get this when using my game for every key I hit, though the keys work fine. err:keyboard:ActivateKeyboardLayout Only default system keyboard layout supported. Call ignored. Typing is a major pain. There is a huge delay from keypress to the letter appearing on screen, though the correct characters are typed. Keyboard is a Microsoft natural pro, language is english. What do I need to

Hi Everybody, I am running openssh 3.4p1 on solaris 8 sparc machine. We recently upgraded our openssh,which is version 3.4p1. when I do "ssh -V" it shows "openssl version mismatch....." and even I try to generate keys with ssh-keygen it gives same error message. I would appreciate if somebody let me know what could be the reason for this error and How I can resolve it.

Okay, I've been working with Samba for a few years now, and I've figrued it out mostly on my own. Now I'm stuck and this problem is slowing down a MAJOR project in my shop. Our solid SuSE 7.3 server's network is dying randomly. All services, not just Samba (2.2.1a) go out. However, it always happens when someone is accessing DVD projects from our NT 4.0 Spruce authoring

We recently moved our Linux file servers from Debian Woody to Debian Etch (v4.0r3). We use the current stable Debian Samba package which is version 3.0.24. Since moving to this Samba version from 2.2.8a-0.1 we see that Windows clients are very slow to list the 5 network drives mapped by our domain login script in Explorer or "My Computer". It can take 10 seconds or so before the drives

Hi, I think that this is more a Samba query than a Cups one, as far as I can tell from the documentation anyway... I am running samba-2.2.5-1 and cups-1.1.16, I have these installed and working correctly... I have 50+ PC's (mixture of WinNT, Win2k, WinXP and Win9x/ME) printing to 6 queues on the server, 5 of these are RAW queues printing via lpd and ipp, and the other is a socket

I found out about vp3 from the new winamp and coincidentally i also happen to be trying to find a suitable solution to broadband streaming. I have used flaskmpeg to create a 17mb .avi file from an 82mb Mpeg 1 file and it looks great it took about twenty minutes to encode. It runs for eight minutes and the audio is also fantastic using the lame encoder. However when I try to do the same in

I have just setup a VPN connection three sites using IPCOP. Everything seems to be talking ok, apart from browsing the network neighborhood. There are no NT/Win2K/XP servers running on any of the sites, all sites are just running win98 pc's using tcp/ip. I have tried configuring all PC's to be on the same workgroup and setup sharing, but still each site can only see the pc's

Ooops, I guess a suject will get some of you to read this, hey? Hi All, Wondering if there is a document that tells how to get wine printing through a cups printer working? Yes I know the wine docs say it's all magic and if you're using cups your printing will magically work, but for some reason, it doesn't, my wine session crashes and burns when I try to print from the built in

Good people, I'm new to samba and more experienced with the unix world than the windows world. I have set up a small system consisting of a samba server running Samba 2.2.3 and FreeBSD 4.4, two win2k systems and a win98 notebook. Networking hardware consists of 3com in the FreeBSD system, whatever 10BaseT stuff is in the motherboards of the windows systems, and 10BaseT twisted pair and hub.

Hi, this is my first foray in samba (and newsgroups) so go easy :) I'm trying to map a network drive from a windows 7 pro client to a QNAP NAS: net use s: \\qnap\share I've posted on several forums and got good advice but the problem remains.

Using the latest dovecot-stable (20050213) with pine, I get an empty "from" header in my e-mails. This doesn't happen with 1.0.59-test, nor did it happen with the first dovecot-stable (20050131).

Hello All: I have a situation where I have a Samba box (RH 7.3 w/samba 2.2.4) that I set up for a client. Another consultant came along and installed a VPN using SonicWalls between the main site and a remote site. So now they want the remote users to save files on my Samba box. No problem except that the remote users can't see my local workgroup or any of the local machines. Here's

I'm hoping someone can help me out with this... I've been running the Wine package in Debian/Woody for quite a while now, and have been able to run most of the windows programs I want to. However, for some reason wine just stopped working for me. Here is the error output for every windows program I run: For language 'english' several language ids were found: en_US - 0409; en_GB
