I don't use XP, but I know there is a registry hack for it if you're using it to connect to Samba. Again, I don't know what it does, but you'll find it at http://ca.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Registry/ It's called SignOrSeal.reg.
Does this happen to all the client machines or just one? Were there also errors in the log.smbd file? This is obvious, but... Your server isn't just too busy, is it?

It's really annoying. I've also noticed at this time I cannot communicate with the server for a few seconds after; i.e I cannot > ping it. Then all of a sudden it starts working again no problem. I'd just like some suggestions as to what it might be, so I can further troubleshoot he issue. > > Here's a snapshot of my smb.conf, just the global section, as all other config is shares: > > [global] > ;basic server settings > workgroup = BIND > server string = Bind.cx LAN Server > smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd > socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 > deadtime = 15 > getwd cache = Yes > lpq cache time = 45 > ; PDC and Master browser settings > domain master = yes > local master = yes > preferred master = yes > os level = 64 > ; securtiy and loggin settings > security = user > encrypt passwords = True > domain logons = yes > max log size = 0 > log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m > log level = 2 > ; other stuff > dns proxy = Yes > wins support = Yes > name resolve order = wins lmhosts host bcast > bind interfaces only = True > interfaces = eth1 192.168.0.254/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1 > hosts deny = ALL > hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1 > debug level = 1 > create mask = 0644 > directory mask = 0755 > oplocks = True > level2 oplocks = True > read raw = No > write cache size = 262144 > > TIA, > > tim > > > > >
