Trouble connecting to windows-share from mac

[Martin]

Hi,

I have two win2k-servers with shared folders. The clients are mixed
pc/mac (MacOS9, MacOSX). Last week one of the servers suddenly hanged
and was rebooted. Ever since then, the mac clients have trouble
connecting to the shares on the server.

From OSX-clients i get timeout when i try to connect to the shared
folders. It can take up to 10 retries until it finally connects without
timeout. When it's connected, it work as it should.

On MacOS9-clients, i cant connect at all. It just sits there trying to
connect, and after a few mins it aborts the connection.

What can be wrong here, where should i start to look for errors? I'm
using AFP from the macs.

The pc-clients have no trouble connecting at all.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Martin,

Try recreating Index file, The easy way to do it is reshare the Mac
shares under computer management. Hope this helps.
