Hi,
We are having a persistant problem that is really hard to fix. We have a
windows 2000 file server that has a few shares on it. There are many users that connect to this share. Windows XP, Mac 10.3.8, 10.4.6, etc etc. Here are the facts and the problem:
Facts:
There is a windows 2000 domain controller. All users have accounts on this. The file server is a different windows 2000 machine.
All of the shares on the file server are open to the world (we have a firewall)
but users often authenticate with their Windows login anyway to start smb
sessions to the file server.
Appletalk is turned off on both the DC and file server.
All users can connect to the file server and mount shares without any problems.
They can read files off of the shares no problem.
All users can write "small files" to the file server no problem.
PC users can write huge files with no problems.
Problem:
Macitosh users (10.3 and 10.4) can start sending large files (>200MB) to the network share, and they will speedily write the entire file, but they will always timeout at the last file MB, and eventually, the machine will throw a error code -36, which is a generic I/O error. This is reproducable.
I have seen this error described often but never solved. I have turned on the network DDE and network DDE DSDM services, I have tried other things. Any suggestions?
