Hi,
I have recently upgraded my client machines to XP pro and have also updated the Samba system so it will act as a domain controller.
I have been able to connect to external sources using FTP with XP and E-smith v5 but not after I upgraded Samba. While I don’t think the issue is related (I dont see how they can be), I did have to totally re-build the Server as my first attempt to upgrade Samba ended in tragedy. As far I can tell everything on the server is fine but the problem occurs with both old Win2000 machines that used to work and the newer re-built machines with XP, therefore not Windows XP causing the problem.
When I try to go to an FTP site to upload updates to my Website (the E-smith server does not host anything external). I get the following message in an error box :-
--------------------------------------------------
“The Folder ‘ftp://ftp.(domain IP address)/ is read-only because the proxy server is not set to allow full access.
To move, paste, rename, or delete files, you must use a different proxy. For information on changing your proxy, contact your administrator.”
--------------------------------------------------
After clicking on OK, the Server returns the following to IE
--------------------------------------------------
While trying to retrieve the URL:
ftp://ftp.(domain IP address)/
The following error was encountered:
Unable to determine IP address from host name for ftp.213.171.193.5
The dnsserver returned:
Name Error: The domain name does not exist.
This means that:
The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
Check if the address is correct.
Your cache administrator is admin@nemtex.co.uk.

Other FTP programs also fail including WS-FTP and The Dreamweaver FTP system.
Has anyone got any suggestions? Was it the Samba upgrade?
Please help!
Thanks in advance
James
