Subject: [Samba] Sleeping Clients
I have tried posting this problem before and had
some jelpful suggestions, but to no avail. Let me reword the problem and
possibly jog someone head.
My hardware/software config:
Samba 2.2.7a
Suse 8.0 distro
Athlon 2000+ XP machine mucho
memory.
One ethernet interface verified running 100 Full-duplex.
The problem:
The Windows XP clients logon to the Samba server
and download the roaming profiles extremely fast, but after this point just
stops. The clients never come back, just keep showing "logging on". The
SignOrSeal entry has been done on the XP clients.
I have turned Samba trace level=3 and it shows
the sighon and download of the profiles and then shows nothing happening - no
errors, just nothing.
The machines(server and clients) appear
configured correctly as non samba traffic is very robust (FTP, ping, mail
etc). When I disable roaming profiles I have the same problem after the logon
the Client is "stuck". This problem happens from 2 totally different XP
clients (Hardware is very different between the 2). The Router/switch looks
heathy. I have applied all patches to XP and microcode to the router/switch. I
have tried Samba 2.2.3a and 2.2.6, 2.2.7, 2.2.7a all with the same
result.
I am using DHCP from my provided by my router.
I do see in my wins.dat that I have no entrty 1d
showing a Local Master Browser, but on is displayed when I do a nmblookup -
just fishing on this.
I have run my smb.conf in another network and it
works great.
Any ideas from anyone that could
help?
Pat
