Topic: Windows XP causes my SME Server to re-boot

[jakehowl]

Hi all,

For a few years I've been using SME 5.6 as DNS/Domain/Print/File server.

The server has two extra hard drives that are mounted using /etc/fstab and the folders are shared using Samba.

Everything was fine until my Windows XP machine started to crash the server whenever I accessed any of these SMB shares.

All other PCs on the network are fine - Mac OS, Windows 2000, Linus. it's just the XP machine that causes the server to crash and re-boot.

Last week I upgraded to SME 6. It fixed it for a while but I've just had my first crash when I was copying a file from a shared drive.

Anybody any ideas what it could be? I love SME server and don't want to have to swap...

I thought it had something to do with my non-standard Samba setupe, but I just tested a normal I-bay and XP crashes the server with repeated access to these as well.

Anybody got *any* idea at all for where I can start looking for a solution?
