Hello list,
I am looking for some help with an error message that keeps showing up in our log files.
I searched the archive and found this error message mentioned a few times in regards to windows xp clients and setting the smb ports = 445.  We are running only windows 2000 clients and have recently begun seeing this error message in our logs
lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_data(384)  read_socket_data: recv failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer
I'm not sure if this fix is for all windows versions or only xp?

We are running a red hat linux enterprise 3 server with samba version 3.0.9 as our PDC with 7 windows 2000 stations. 
Any ideas on what might be causing this error in the logs, so far we are not having any problems with logons as of now.
Thanks for all the help
Chris
