    Hi,

     

    I installed the latest Firmeware (6.7.4.) on my NAS some days ago and now I thought to test whether something has changed relating to my problem.

     

    Indeed, when I disable my Switch-Port (where NAS is connected to) and then (re-) enable that Switch-Port (HP-Procurve-Switch, disabling/enabling via SNMP-Command) then it lasts 10 seconds!!!! until I have a SMB-Connection to my NAS.

     

    Amazing, thank you for your effort spent in my case.

Odd. Can you reproduce the issue then send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

Hi,

 

as far as I can see in the logs there is nothing in particular - I jotted the time down when I did my tests 10:32 and at that time there no log-entries

Is there a deeper inview into the logs ??

 

Where to upload or sent the logs too ??

    The article linked to in my sig explains how to provide the logs.

      Perhaps try disabling local master browser functionality:

      # echo "local master = no" > /etc/frontview/samba/smb.conf.overrides

        Hi,

         

        I tried that (putty and then entered your commands) and checked by using cat on that file smb.conf.overrides. It was put in there.

        But nothing changes.

         

        Than I tried to reboot my NAS to put parameters in work - the same problem - reboot finished at 15:31 (could access via Putty and/or Web) but couldnt connect via UNC-Path or drive-letter which was still stored.

         

        But then at 15:39 I could connect to UNC-Share, everything works fine.

         

        Changed but the problem persists because I cant and dont wanna wait up to 10 minutes (in this case, who knows, how this time vary).
