Hello all,
I've tried everything I can think of, I've gone through Google and the Samba website and I can't come up with a fix for this problem. I've been running Samba 3 for at least the past year with no problems. I run a small FreeBSD 6.2 box that I use as a storage area for the windows XP systems on my network. Things have been fine up until 3.0.25 and 3.0.25a.

Now, when I try to connect to one of the shares, I get the following from windows: "Y:\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."

I also get that error if I browse to the share on the network and try to connect that way, instead of using the mapped drive letter.

I've tried completely uninstalling 3.0.25a, removing all TDB files, everything and then recompile and reinstall fresh. Any time a machine on the network tries to connect, the following is logged in /var/log/samba/log.192.168.0.216:

[2007/06/23 03:07:24, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1033)
192.168.0.216 (192.168.0.216) connect to service backup$ initially as user nobody (uid=65534, gid=65534) (pid 63261)
[2007/06/23 03:07:34, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(1230)
 192.168.0.216 (192.168.0.216) closed connection to service backup$

I'm using share level security. I have the share set to be accessible by anyone on the network so that any machine has full write access. If I remove 3.0.25a and fall back to 3.0.24, everything is fine. I don't make any changes to the smb.conf file. It just starts working when I go back to 3.0.24

Here is my smb.conf:

[global]
  workgroup = MYNET
  server string = Backup Server
  security = share
  hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.
  log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
  max log size = 5000
  interfaces = txp0
  dns proxy = no

[backup$]
  comment = backups
  path = /archive
  browseable = yes
  only guest = yes
  public = yes
  guest ok = yes
  writeable = yes


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
