Hi, I have a problem with my printing setup of a windows XP client with a samba server. The windows driver seems to use different ways of smb/printer communication for printing in normal/duplex mode and for printing brochures. The latter failes silently. normal/duplex printing uses: SMB Open Print File Request brochure printing starts with: SPOOLSS OpenPrinterEx request I recorded the network

Hi all, we have got 4 Samba Servers. All BDCs for "MYDOMAIN", except by SERVER3 that is a PDC. All of them have 3 physical Network interfaces, from which 2 are used by samba. Each of them has a several ip aliases, except by SERVER1 which has only primary ip numbers on its interfaces. When I try to join a new Windows client (XP SP3) to the domain. It asks our wins server for

Hi, I'm trying to replace a windows fileserver server with a Fedora Core 2 samba server in our Windows 2000 ADS domain. A performance problem occurs when accessing certain samba shares from Windows Explorer on either an Windows XP or a W2K client machine. It can take up to a minute for explorer to list files in a share folder containing only a few files! It eventually does, but but reports

Here is a second, somewhat related question to my last one. When looking over the network trace I have ran into something I cannot explain. It may be quite proper, in which case I am misreading the trace. But I would appreciate it if someone would explain this to me. In packet 109 of the trace (during a login with no profile on the server), I see a "NT Create AndX request"

Hi list, I am encountering a problem in connecting a Windows 2003 to a Samba 3.0.21b server. The Samba server is configured to have a security = share option, so that no password is needed. I can connect to the server by typing "net use z: \\192.168.51.1\data", and it is successful. However, if I try to do "dir z:", no file found! Same behaviour are found in Windows

Hi, Running samba 3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1 on an Ubuntu 9.10 installation. I've previously been running ubuntu intrepid ibex (samba 3.2.3). Since the upgrade I've had issues with a device not finding any wokrgroups/domains when doing an nmb lookup. The device is a wireless music player that can make an SMB connection and has worked fine until the upgrade. When sniffing the network, I get a log

After upgrading XP to SP2, I can no longer connect to server aliases. The client reports an error 53, "The network path was not found", when doing "net use * \\prof\profile. Mapping to a share on the real netbios name works fine. Anyone else seen this? Setup: samba-3.0.6.rc2 smb.conf [global] netbios aliases = PROF include = /etc/samba/smb.%L smb.prof [profile] path =

Hello, I replaced an NT4 server by a Samba 3.0.14a ldap server following the instructions in 'Samba by example'. Everything works fine except for some files on a W2003 SP2 server: - when the W2003 server uses the Linux PDC, from a WinXP client, some files are not writable, and ACLs can be listed but not changed. - when the NT4 server is up, the same files on the W2003 server can be

Debian Lenny Samba 3.2.3 LOOX N560 with Windows Mobile 5 Hello, ?my PDA LOOX N560 could connect via WLAN to SAMBA under Etch. Meanwhile I upgraded to Debian Lenny and now may PDA cannot connect anymore to the server. Error 1223 or 1222. Connecting to XP-Clients via WLAN is okay. Connecting to Samba Wireshark tells me: malformed packet: No. ? ? Time ? ? ? ?Source ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Greetings, in our small network with about 10 Clients I got a problem when opening files or directories. If there were no actions between server and client for about 2 minutes or more, the very first action (open file, change path, etc) needs a long long time. The problem occurs on some clients (win 2k/xp), but not on every client. I tried a working smb configuration from home, but still no

Hi! I'm currently hunting a strange problem and looking for help! I have a samba3 fileserver (currently samba-3.0.20b, but problem can be reproduced with samba-3.0.7, but _not_ with samba2 like 2.2.8a), and I see performance problems when writing files with MS word 2002 SP3 from a NT4.0 (SP6a) workstation. Saving even the smallest file takes more than 10 seconds! Copying files with Windows

For quite awhile I've noticed that smbd uses 10-15% of my CPU (Pentium 4) when nothing visible is going on. I have a couple of laptops on my home network, and some experiments showing that powering on the Vista laptop (other is OSX) is sufficient to raise useage from 0 to 10-15%. The screen is locked, although 2 user accounts are logged in. Wireshark seems to show a lot of chatter,

Here's what you asked for - along with some tcpdump data that shows what I'm thinking the problem is...If anyone knows what this is - I'd LOVE to hear it - I've seen lots of posts about this type of error from others, and none of those folks have posted their problem being fixed (they probably gave up on it like I did for awhile...)

<earlier, David Rankin wrote to no avail:> Mates, I have been watching a developing problem over the past few weeks. Most likely a M$ patch to XP that has caused problems. What happens is that XP clients try to open the standard "File" -> "Open" dialog (like in word, or whatever) and the file open dialog hangs and stops responding for 15 seconds or so. I have

I'm running Samba on a Linux 7.2 recently upgraded to 8.0 system. I have a problem that occurred in 7.2 and also occurs in 8.0. My clients are Windows 98. If a client reboots then regularly it is not possible to access files on the Linux server without restarting smb on the server. On the Windows 98 clients, in network neighbourhood I get \\Robert is not accessible. No permission to access

Hi, After upgrading samba from 3.0.14(Sarge) to 3.0.24(Etch) I cannot save file I have edit anymore on home shares, local shares works. It's possible to create/delete/rename dir/files. But if I try to edit a file and save it windows complains: "The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file" Copy a file gives the same error. I have

Hello, Last week I have detected with Zabbix that a member of my Samba domain had been downloading at a rate of around 8 Mbps for two days and a half. When asking the person to whom belonged the machine, he didn't know he was downloading anything but he said he had observed his machine had slowed down since then. I took a tcpdump of the traffic before terminating his session on Windows

I have a samba machine used by some users but most users use the windows 2003 server. It all works fine except when one particular user connects to the samba machine the samba machine will then try to connect to 192.168.192.1. This drives our netowrk people crazy because we don't have any machines in the network that are 192.anything. We are using a fairly old version of samba - 2.2.3a. At

I have an Apple iBook running OS X 10.2 connected to my network via an 802.11b wireless network. When I transfer files via SMB with my Windows 2000 computer, the speed seems reasonable. However, when I connect to a share on my Debian (x86) box (kernel 2.4.19) running Samba 2.2.3a-12 for Debian, the speed is only about a sixth as fast (transferring files to or from the Win2k box is about 6
