Hi, I'm re-posting this (with some more info) as I don't think the original got through as I wasn't signed up to the samba list.
this is my first foray in samba (and newsgroups) so go easy :) I've started reading the o'reilly samba book but finding it hard going. Anyway I'm trying to map a network drive from a windows 7 pro client to a QNAP NAS with the command: net use s: \\qnap\share I've posted on several forums and got good advice but the problem remains. Rather than repost all the detail, please see my original posts: http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=185&t=74639 http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/11d35b0c-ac95-489f-b5d1-0486b9774603 http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-7/112309-map-network-drive-nas-but-get-error-64-58-a.html I've managed to ssh onto the QNAP via putty and found this in the logs (getpeername failed) [/var/log] # pwd /var/log [/var/log] # tail -f log.smbd [2013/05/01 09:36:17.135999, 0] lib/util_sock.c:474(read_fd_ with_timeout) [2013/05/01 09:36:17.136096, 0] lib/util_sock.c:1440(get_peer_addr_internal) getpeername failed.

Then things start to change On the working client we continue with frame 10113 which is a Dfsc: Get DFS Referral Request but the failing client continues with some TCP frames (see tcp-frames154-157.png) 154 to 157 before it seems to start the negotiation again at frame 158 Not sure how to troubleshoot this further so any advice welcome. Thanks Ed PS I initially tried to post this on google group linux.samba but was rejected by the moderation robot which said "Please submit your message to the mailing list address". I did this with attached png's but failed due to file size so hopefully 3rd time lucky! -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
