Hi
I have got Samba running on my LAN
1 Samba server
1 Windows 2000 client (laptop)
1 Windows 2000 client (vmware)
samba-2.0.9-1.3mdk
samba-common-2.0.9-1.3mdk
samba-client-2.0.9-1.3mdk
It works but I often get the fowlloing messages from either client:
"The semaphore timeout period has expired"
when I try to connect to one of the computer on the network or to a
network share.
Then if I retry a few seconds later, it works...
The ennoying thing is that it takes a while for the client to give this
message
(20 seconds at least) before you can retry.
note: it happened with 7.1, 7.2 as well but I have never been able to
pinpoint the
cause of this problem
I have just configured Samba at work on a RH 7.0 machine (yeah, it is
sort of
difficult to get Linux in a company, then when you succeed they buy
RH...)
and I do not get this error when I access the Linux box shown as Samba
server...
I have trying to find answers elsewhere, some people seem to get this
pbm as well
but I could not find much explanation.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
Fred
