Hi All,

Wondered if any of you out there have experienced this issue at all.

We have a windows 7 pro workstation setup in workgroup fashion not on the domain with 1 account which is an administrator

setup a basic share on the machine and gave full rights on both ACL and share permissions on windows machine to the administrator account.

It runs a piece of software which monitors this "hot folder" and then prints out the data dropped on by the macs.

We have a number of macs that then copy files to this share effectively drop it on.

Bit of a mixed environment of 10.6 and 10.8 macs along with some new 10.9 macs.

Since introducing the 10.9 macs into this environment we are having a problem where after 15 minutes of a reboot of the win machine we loose the connections on all macs and cannot remount to windows box without rebooting it yet if we browse on a windows machine to it all is working fine.

We were connecting over smb:\\ip address and then using the admin login credentials.

I have tried cifs:\\ip address and this has had mixed results but now getting different errors of -8060 then back to the normal error of -50

only a reboot is fixing it and as you can imagine its getting very laborious.

Anyone else seen anything similar and heard of a fix.

Thanks,

Lee
 
Hi, what's your anti virus software setup on the PC end?
Also, check the firewall status while you at it.
I had a similar problem before with a Windows 7 64bit and a XP machine.
It went fine since a reconfig the security setups.

hope it helps,
good luck.
