Dear all, I have a SuSE 8.1 Installation running on a box and mixed windows versions on clients doing domain loggons etc on the SuSE8.1 box (I have activated Samba on it and all works just fine!). One of them has Win2K and it running a software that plays MP3s from the SuSE server on a 24hour basis (that is non-stop). For the past few months, the Win2K client will show an unexpected error stating :"There is a problem on your hard disk or the network" which causes all MP3 playing to cease. At that point, I have to terminate the program and restart it so it can continue. This doesn't make any sense since all other clients on the network can play those mp3s without any problems, however they do not play on a 24hour basis. I have checked for bad clusters etc on the SuSE machine, none found. I have checked the MP3s which caused the system to stop but they are absolutely fine and I can play them on any other PC including the one that stopped!! In addition, whenever something like this happens, I get the following error in the /var/log/messages log file: Jul 20 18:01:41 mp3 smbd-classic[18241]: [2004/07/20 18:01:41, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(436) Jul 20 18:01:41 mp3 smbd-classic[18241]: read_data: read failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer I have tried to figure out what the hell that error means and I cannot find anything for the life of me!!! I even changed my network cards on both (client and server) still nothing! The error continues to appear on the client and the server. It does not appear on a periodic interval (i.e. every 6 hours or something like that) so I cannot seem to trace it in any way!!!! I even re-installed my entire SuSE from scratch and fully patched it from fou4s and still no results! The only thing that I have not done yet is to upgrade it to Samba 3 (in case the Samba-Team has fixed something like this for which I have no idea since I am a very new linux user). Please, please, please help me with this one! It is driving me absolutely CRAZY!!!! Thank you in advance for your time and effort Kind Regards, Chris
