Well the VPN service is installed but I don't use it. I'll remove it and see if that fixes it. Might take a while to know as it doesn't happen all the time...

Not a title for a song but a wierd problem... We have two Win2003 Servers, let's call them my_server and his_server. They are on the same physical lan but different subnets and domains although each server has a secondary ip address on the other server's subnet (just to make it easy to run a...

OK, now I've got rsync working I want to make the whole thing a lot smarter. As I said, the NAS's are dumb so what I'm doing is NAS1 -> Win2003 Server -> NAS2. This means I can't take advantage of the rsync "just send the part of the file that's changed". But, both locations have Win2003 servers...

Problem solved - rsync now working with: rsync -vr //192.168.100.120/production //192.168.2.153/backup/test

Thanks for the suggestions. XXCOPY seems rather slow - I haven't tried Robocopy yet. The best I've tried is rsync but I can't get it to work when both the source and destination are remote. Here's the incantation: rsync -vr \\192.168.100.120\production \\192.168.2.153\backup\test All it does...

These NAS's are just dumb black boxes full of disks. You can set their ip's, names, shares, users and passwords and that's pretty well it. No way to program or modify them and they don't support rsync or anything else. Sorry I wasn't clear about the data. Each NAS holds the active data for it's...

I'm loking for a good way to do reciprocal backups between two NAS's i.e NAS-1 backup on NAS-2, NAS-2 on NAS-1. They are located in different buildings each with a wired LAN but interconnected via a private microwave link so building to building communication is pretty slow. Each NAS will have...

I'm setting up 20 machines in a domain and want to have exactly the same user profile (everything, desktop, start menu, programs, folder settings, etc.) on each machine without having to set them up machine by machine. Then I want to lock them so the user can't make changes. We use single...

I've just installed a Win 3003 Server. All of our XP-Pro (32-bit) machines can join the domain but one running XP-Pro x64 fails. If I create an account for the machine on the server everything seems fine - I even get a message saying the account already exists and do I want to use it (so they...

Oh, sorry - I'll repost in the right place...

OK, I've done that and also set "domain master = yes" for good measure and sure enough the master browser is now nailed to the samba server. Thanks

More Info: About 15 mins after I forced the master server onto the samba server the x64 machine regained access to the workgroup and the shares but with strange behaviour. I decided to concentrate on just one server, a NAS (really a cut-down samba server with all the software on a flash module)...

NetBIOS over TCP/IP is already forced on all machines. There are no duplicate computer names or same username / computername. There are no network problems - ping works fine, even big ping (ping computer_name /n 10 /l 32000) has no lost packets with an average of less than 1ms (gigabit connection).

Yes, only one machine - the one running x64 edition. Can't see any problems in the event viewer. Just tried forcing the master browser onto the samba server - doesn't seem to make much difference except I can now open the workgroup but can only access the shares on the two samba servers and on...

I would like one of our Linux/Samba servers to always be the master browser for our workgroup. Any advice on how to do this?

Does the "how many machines are accessing one machine" apply if the machine being accessed is a Linux Samba server? More info: The machine that is currently locked out is XP Pro x64. If I reboot I can access the workgroup for a few minutes then everything slows down and finally it's locked out...

I have a problem with machines losing access to a workgroup consisting of 18 machines: 14 XP Pro, 1 XP Pro-64, 2 Linux Samba servers and one NAS. There are 3 switches (2 at 100 Mb/s and 1 at 100/1000 Mb/s with all machines on the same subnet (192.168.100 mask 255.255.255.0). Netbios over tcp/ip...

I had this kind of a problem but with a much larger workgroup (16 machines). Everything was working fine then one day 4 machines couldn't access the workgroup. Hunting in internet I stumbled across a reference to browstat.exe, a program to find the master browser in a workgroup. Master browser...

I'm trying to install Voipbuster or Voipstunt on a PC connected to ADSL via a proxy server but both fail to connect so I can't even register a username. The same PC runs Skype with no problems (Skype found the proxy automagically - I guess from the IE settings). Any thoughts?
