[Samba] Read failure for 4. Error = connection reset by peer.

[Smith, Daniel A(Z07833)]

You can try setting 

deadtime=10

I think what is happening is the the Windows 2000 connection is timing out at the same time the Samba connection does and things get confused.  Reducing the dead time seemed to help but not completely solve my problem with the connection reset by peer message.

I am having a SERIOUS problem with our new 2.2.5 server. In fact I will 
probably be forced to move to a Windows 2000 Server platform, as the samba 
server is practically useless.  Work on any files on the share cannot be 
done without major risk of losing data. I get these two errors all day:

[2002/09/19 21:04:21, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(436)
   read_data: read failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer

and

[2002/09/20 00:58:43, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(436)
   read_data: read failure for 4. Error = Connection timed out

Most of them are the connection reset by peer. I get more than 25 a day at 
times, at intervals ranging from 5 minutes to several hours. If someone has 
a file open during that time and try to save I get a bunch of oplock log 
errors, their application crashes and all data is lost. I've searched and 
searched w/ google, no one seems to have any solutions. I've tried some 
keepalive options. Both socket level and application level, both failed. 
Somone mentioned a registry fix but that also seems to have failed. My 
clients are mostly Windows 2k with a couple of XP's.

Frustrated,
Jason Valenzuela
