This is the repeating entry from my smbd.log from every time I try to mount the share via samba; [2009/12/01 09:32:59, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(1224) getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected I had read online that this can be caused by samba not making its mind up about weather to use TCP ports 139 or 445 so I set it statically from within the smb config file by using "smb ports = 445" and "smb ports 139" restart after each change and checking if this had fixed my problem but it has not. -- Regards, James ;) Samuel Goldwyn - "I'm willing to admit that I may not always be right, but I am never wrong." - http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/s/samuel_goldwyn.html
