similar to: The specified Network Name is no longer available

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. I'm using a Linux box in my house as a NAS, so that I can make backups, move large files, etc. The problem is that, whenever I try to move/copy a file larger than 100MB or so off of the linux machine to my Windows machine, I get "Specified network name is no longer available" on the Windows machine and the transfer aborts.

Nah, just I have been fighting it longer than you. I can?t really get anything conclusive from your logs. Are they truncated ? I just say I feel it?s a bad idea having an unknown state DC in an AD, and even if it was good I don?t think it?s a good idea to have it permanently off I?m shire there?ll be sync issues. I?d demote it. You run a hypervisor. Get a snapshot of everything while turned off

We?ve removed the possibility of a bad DC2. If all else seems OK, I am running out of ideas.

Hi, I am struggling to complete my installation of Samba to share files to my Samba Server. The error:The specified network name is no longer available - keeps recurring irrespective of the changes I make from online forums. Please help. Kind regards, Gerard

To answer you questions: Win 10 to Samba, but what OS is Samba running on ? Samba is running on a Centos 7 Server - UNIX Can you connect from explorer to the 'Anonymous' share ? I cannot connect. It gave me the error in the screenshot I sent you. Have you created any Samba users on the Samba server ? I have not created any user apart from 'root' of which I setup a password

Hi Volker, Jordan Coleman, Murray Taylor, David Kennel, Frederic Corne and Stephen Jones all wrote about the problem of a specified network intermittently reported "no longer available" when writing to a file. It's the same problem which I complained about on April 7. I then assumed it had to do with the presence of a w2k3 server in the domain. The problem disappeared after I

I feel stupid even asking, and I have a feeling the solution is something that has been staring me right in the face for hours. I can't seem to access network shared on my samba PDC. I've done this before, and I am using a similar smb.conf file and I am just at the point where I can't get anything else to happen with this thing. My original problem was that I could not get WINXP

hi guys, I'm having trouble accessing samba share files from a windows xp client using a vpn pptp connection. I configured samba and it works excellent on the LAN but when i connect through pptp and access the samba server \\192.168.3.1 I can see the shared folders but when i try to browse them, windows hangs (4 a change!) for a while then returns "the specified network name

I have a user w/ puzzling error. We have not been able to get a tcpdump or significant samba log, but I'm posting to see if anyone else has seen this. I did find some older posts that point to possible client issues. We're running samba 3.0.25b on RHEL4. The user reports: I am getting an error whenever I want to make a copy of a MS Excel file on my shared network drive: (From

I am not sure if this is a windows problem or a Samba problem. We have a network consisting of a mixture of Samba and windows servers running under a windows PDC. The network is a WAN with radio (802.11B) point-to-point links between buildings within the campus, and frame relay and ADSL links to interstate offices. The interstate offices have windows BDC's. Most of the desktops are win2k

I've been tearing my hair out trying to get this to work. Problem: Samba versions 2.2.4 and 2.2.5, running on mandrake 8.2 and 8.1 respectively, both with XFS (the mdk 8.2 machine is using a STOCK kernel 2.4.18-6mdk), the mdk 8.1 machine is using a stock 2.4.18 + xfs 1.1 patch. Windows 2000 SP2 client tries to copy a folder with files in it to the share. Copy seems to start but ends rapidly

Hello again, So I made an overall change to the config and removed the sambashare entirely. I just want to have a basic connection before any further modification. Below is the config setup: [global]? ? ? ? log file = %S.log? ? ? ? log level = 3? ? ? ? workgroup = WORKGROUP? ? ? ? security = user? ? ? ? printing = cups? ? ? ? printcap name = cups? ? ? ? cups options = raw? ? ? ? ntlm auth = yes? ?

Hi, first of all, sorry for my poor english. I have installed Samba4 (stable tarball) on a fresh Centos 6.3 x64 server, with the "classicupgrade" command. With great difficulty I managed to correctly configure the DNS server (bind). "kinit", "smbclient" and "samba_dnsupdate - verbose - all-names" give the desired output. Starting samba daemon, this is the

Hi, I got a weird probleme. I have a fileserver running FreeBSD 6.1 and 2 client running Windows XP.
