rebuild the windows box. Seems to me it has a
conflict somewhere. Either a bad piece of hardware or maybe your registry
is messed up.
--- Original
message ---
I've got a bunch of Windows machines running through a Linux box as
a
gateway to an ADSL connection. We share files between Windows machines
all
the time with no problems. I'm the only one that works with files on
the
Linux box using Samba. I've got one of the shares on the Linux box
mapped
to a drive letter. If I have a file on the Linux box open in Windows
for a
while -- like a graphic I'm working on or an HTML doc -- after about
15
minutes, the nic in my Windows machine stops responding. Since
it's
Windows, I then have to reboot, which takes forever because it's one
of
those machines that needs to be rebuilt so everything crashes and
hangs
when you try to shutdown.
Any
thoughts?
Thanks,
Scott
Hi
scott,
There are who
parameters in the smb.conf file which should take care of the
problem...
keepalive = 30 -
tells the samba to check every 30 secs whether the client is still present and
responding. The default is 0, which causes smb to not check at all and close
the connection after "deadtime".
deadtime = 60
tells samba to consider a connection dead after 60 minutes. Default is 0,
which means NEVER (not wise).
PS
Just
wandering,
You are using
linux to connect to ADSL.
Is it a ethernet
port or USB?
If it's something
else than ethernet what do you use to interface it?
