Random SMB Disconnect

[huffy15]

HI,

I connect my imac on a pc win7 with smb (192.168.1.100) and suddenly I get disconnect and the smb unmount from the finder. Sometimes and I can connect myself on the server during 1 day and another day it disconnect after 4 seconds and I get an alert with "The connection failed..."

I access to another pc computer(192.168.1.104) with the same methods without any problems.

I activated the guest account on the pc with a 4 days success after that ramdom failed come back.

Anyone know why ?


Thank you.

check your pc's nic to make sure it isn't powering off to save energy.

if you keep a constant ping going from the pc to the mac, does this reoccur?

win 7 home premium or pro?

simple file sharing off?

home sharing off?

does the mac have OD?



if you ping FROM the mac TO the PC, do you see it dropping off at the same time you get the unmount error?
