Good Morning Again Everyone: This seems to be my day for problems I am trying to access my File Server (FC2 Up2DATE running samba and authenticating against the domain) I am working from my XP station, and when I browse the local network to the box, I get an error message that states that I might not have permission to access the resource, (I do) and to contact my administrator (I am the admin), then it says that All Pipe Instances are busy. I have tried restarting samba and winbind, and also rebooting the box to clear any hung up stuff in the processor. Beyond that I am not sure where to go any suggestions are appreciated. I can post any configs etc that you need, just let me know which ones you want. Here is the smb.conf file #Trial SMB.conf file copied from the quick start guide #Modified to fit the needs of MCASCHOOL [global] workgroup = MCASCHOOL netbios name = SRVFS-01 server string = MCASCHOOL File Server security = DOMAIN winbind separator = \ winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes printcap name = cups disable spoolss = Yes show add printer wizard = No idmap uid = 15000-20000 idmap gid = 15000-20000 winbind use default domain = Yes use sendfile = Yes printing = cups [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No browseable = No [Pictures] writeable = yes path = /share/pictures [isoimage] writeable = yes path = /share/isoimage [Ghost] writeable = yes path = /data/ghost_images Tim Holmes IT Manager / Webmaster Medina Christian Academy A Higher Standard...
