Dissapearing samba servers

[Iain Gray]

Hi

I've seen a couple of people post this problem, but I've never seen an
answer, and now it's happenning to me.

I run Solaris 2.5.1, and samba-1.9.17p1.

Every so often a pc can look in the network neighborhood and the samba
server just isn't there, though you can still map a network drive by
using a UNC pathway:

\\server\share

so the share is still out there but the server dissapears every so
often.

Any clues would be much appreciated.

Iain

ps What is the equiv of samba for macintoshes if there is one??
