Seeing as I got not replies I went and upgraded to 3.2.15 from sernet

http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/tested/centos/5/repodata/index.html

And I'm seeing the same errors on the vista side but here are the logs from
the server,

Dec 13 11:16:39 newsrv smbd[32555]: [2009/12/13 11:16:39,  0]
lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_with_timeout(939)
Dec 13 11:16:39 newsrv smbd[32555]: [2009/12/13 11:16:39,  0]
lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr_internal(1676)
Dec 13 11:16:39 newsrv smbd[32555]:   getpeername failed. Error was
Transport endpoint is not connected
Dec 13 11:16:39 newsrv smbd[32555]:   read_socket_with_timeout: client
0.0.0.0 read error = Connection reset by peer.


are there any known issues with Vista?
and is there any known working minimum version?


Cheers,
