| Yesterday when browsing a Samba share I received "share is not accessible.Sephimore timeout period has expired".I was on a Win2K client.I did a little research but cant quite put my finger on what this is about.
I rebooted the box (which is the usual windows solution...what a joke.) It worked.I did come across a suggestion of adjusting a registry key from the default value of 20..but Im interested in seeing if anyone else has seen this.From what I summazised its a smb protocol issue.Man I wish I was capturing the wire at the time.
Its good to come across something like this especially when we will (at least I know in my environment) be seeing more and more Linux/Windows connectivity via Samba.

| We noticed in the same behaviour in our office. Occasionally it happens that a samba share is not available. We don't get your error msg, only a window with username/password - both on W2K and NT4 workstations. First times I restarted nmbd to fix the problem until we realized that this "status" lasts only a few seconds before everything is ok again without any effort. It's a kind of "magic" ...  and a chance to go for a coffee! | |

| I didnt restart the samba daemons becouse browsing,accessing the share from other clients was possible.It may just be a Win2K issue (other attempts were made from NT4 clients)
The sephemore timeout still illudes me... | |

| I've never run across anything like that. Then again, there's only one Win2k box on my network so I don't have that much exposure to Samba/Win2k issues. Do you have any weird smb.conf settings? | |

| No, nothing out of the ordinary.
Its proably another wonderful windows "feature". | |

Probably, I'm discovering those "features" all the time  |
