Hi, All.
I hope everyone's enjoying the nice weather.
I am called the system admin here, but really I just fell into the job
over the past 25 years.
Is there a way to search the archives?
My problem is that I've suddenly got 6 WinXP desktops that can access
only 1 of my 5 smb servers, 4 of which run on Linux and 1 on SCO Unix.
The 1 they can access runs Linux with Samba version 3.0.26a and is also
my DHCP server and WINS server. SCO Unix runs 2.2.5. Others are
versions 3.4.0, 3.5.4, and 3.0.28a. All servers are setup with
security = share. I use file permissions to control access. I have had
SCO and 1 Linux running in virtual machines via vmware and virtualbox
for about 9 months. In general, I have been running Linux with Samba
this way for 8 years and SCO with Samba for 10.
Everything was fine on Wednesday, 6/17 and on Thursday morning WinXP had
no access. It reports error 58. I have 5 Linux desktops that report no
problems and have access to all servers via smb.
No WinXP updates had been installed that I know of and none on Linux,
either.
My initial feeling was to blame my switch, but my laptop, running WinXP,
can access all servers plugged into the same cat5 cable as any desktop.
This one's got me stumped and is stalling my operation.
Thanks for any help,
