[Samba] 'Network Busy' - indeed

[Rashkae]

There is a similar problem to this that is caused when the computer Samba
is on tries to reverse look ip iternal IP addresses. (192.168.x.x or
10.x.x.x.) on the internet DNS server.. The DNS server takes a long time
to respond to the strange request, and the Samba request times out in the
mean time.

The quick solution to this is to add an entry in your /etc/hosts file for
each workstation on the network.  It doesn't really matter what you name
the computers.   The point is only to prevent lookups from going to the
ISP DNS server.

Okay, so I made headway yesterday with this. It only occurs while the ppp0
device is connected. If I leave the internet off, all the machines can log
in to the samba shares no problem. Once everyone is logged in, I can turn
the internet on and all is well. I tried this and it can repeat without
fail. Maybe a routing problem?

I'm not sure what the logs say, I haven't looked in there yet.

I'm having the exact same problem! Whatever can this be? Does anyone on this
list recognize this problem at all?

What does your log say Thom?
