Quick tests on my test machines shows that cifs attempts to connect, times out, attempts to reconnect and gets -EHOSTUNREACH in case of both Windows Servers and Samba Servers. This is the expected behavior. OTOH, this sounds like a problem related to an error due to the Windows server being unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool (seen in the past). Do you see anything that is related to the error in Windows Event viewer? -Suresh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
