Maybe you have bad network hardware. For longer links using cheap
hardware I use only 10Mb/s connections, since 100Mb/s gives random errors
with roaming profiles (among those what you seem to be experiencing). On
your windows 2000 box you should be able to set the transfer mode of the
network adapter.
I don't know if there is a way to set parameters for retry or
time-out in samba connections. Maybe this cuold also be of use.

Windows 2000 + roaming profiles
Hi all,
I have a Samba 2.2.2 controlled domain
(server config: Mandrake 8.1 with
ReiserFS 3.6.25) and have a bit of a
problem with profiles.
Basically, there is this one user that has
problems when she logs onto
her workstation for the first time each
day. The actual filename
differs, but often an error message will be
presented during the logon
mentioning that a file could not be
downloaded from the server because
"THE NETWORK PATH WAS NOT FOUND".
The file referenced is indeed there.
Of course, the person is dumped
into a Windows 2000 environment without
anything in the way of
personalised settings, meaning they need to log
back
out.
Strangely, the second attempt normally results in success. Of
course,
their workstation accumulates a massive number of folders
named
username.domainname.xxx where xxx is a number between 000 and
999 but
the problem goes away.
For the moment, I've told the
machine to just use the locally cached
copy. The logs don't show
anything other than the errors that seem to be
fairly common in this
network for reasons not known to me (No route to
host features
often).
I have very similar configs in other places that have
nothing in the way
of logon problems that can't be traced to firewall
rules and the error
logs in those other places are totally clean with
identical logging levels.
Any
thoughts?
Chris
