Re: [BackupPC-users] Network error on smb backup

Networking issue most likely.  Sometimes hardware fails for no good reason.
If you have an extra ethernet card lying around I suggest you try that.

Alternatively, has anyone moved the computer recently?  did the cable get
crunched?  Is it near a microwave or do the cables run by a microwave?  did
someone just get some Serious Satellite Radio?  XM and Serious can disrupt
network traffic if the cable is too close(i learned that after hours of
diagnosing a network issue, then the employee left for the day and took
their serious radio and everything started working!)

  There don't appear to be any file system issues.

This is my laptop which is backed up when plugged into its docking 
station. I'll give it a go tomorrow without it.

do you use a headset with your phone? like a plantronics?  i have
plantronics cs50 and cs55 headsets that have to be about 6 away from an
ethernet cable or they distrupt the signal.  typically this just causes the
network to fall back to 10Mbps but can cause all kinds of funky errors.

[BackupPC-users] Network error on smb backup

2008-02-18 Thread Alex Schaft
Hi,

I've got a laptop (mine :)) which has been backed up successfully via 
smb for a while now. All of a sudden, it's losing the network 
connection, along with the following errors.

The backup server is Running centos 4 with samba-client-3.0.25b-1.el4_6.4

Any ideas as to wat can cause this?
